reply to _/_/_/_/ Connection Hint _/_/_/_/ I believe anyone who able to login to the server, can use this statment include('/home/someone/connection.php'); to connect to someone's database and do anything he wants to. I find it is a big problem to me, as I must have a file to store my username and password in order to login to database, and the worst thing is, the file must be world-readable. Is there any method to protect the password? Thanks. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19914 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19914 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19914
