No. The only way they can get your source is by ftping or having shell access to your server. And even then, they'd have to have read perms on your web folder/files. If you were to have a lot of unknown people jacking around on your server, you have a lot of other stuff to worry about that who's gonna steal your mysql username/password. They can't just say: Download http://yoursite.com/file_with_good_info.php and get the php-source, all they'd get is the HTML source. -- Tyler Longren Captain Jack Communications tyler@captainjack.com www.captainjack.com On Tue, 25 Jun 2002 20:46:04 +0100 "Peter" <newsaddress@saracenvsu.org.uk> wrote: > When you have the standard > > $link = mysql_connect("localhost","username","secretpassword"); > > Would it not be possible for someone to use PHP from another server to > download your source and find out your MySQL details including > password? > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >
