Hi all!
Is there any way I can secure my mysql connection password if I do not have access on my server
below the document root? I will be storing all sensitive data on my site in mysql and it seems that
if I can protect this one password, I'll be pretty secure, but I discovered that I can right
click save as on a php script and get the unparsed script which will trot my password right out
there for Grandma to take a look at. I can't see a way around this.
