The password code will be parsed out by PHP, so, it won't be viewable in the HTML source delivered to the browser. Some advice: set up a user for your database that has the minimal amount of access necessary to perform queries or writing to the database and use that in your scripts. Don't ever use your master MySQL username and password.
