As per hiding your database username password - what I do is put a file in my root www directory called "global.php". In this I define a variable $INCLUDE="/home/users/myname/include". Then in that folder I make a file called "db.php" with my username/password as variables. I include db.php and all other include files with: require "global.php"; require "$INCLUDE/db.php";
