WE have a number of PHP webpages that access one of several MySql databases and while the PHP files that contain the passwords cannot be accessed via the web, we are becoming increasingly concerned over the possibility of other webpage maintainers viewing those files. How have other folks protected database passwords needed by PHP apps? Thanks. -- Rob Tanner UNIX Services Manager Linfield College, McMinnville OR
