If your configuration file holds any sensitive information (such as database login details), remember NOT to place it within your document root folder! A common mistake is to replace config.inc.php files, which are formatted in PHP: <?php $database['host'] = 'localhost'; // etc... ?> With config.ini files which are written in plain text: [database] host = localhost The file config.ini can be read by anyone who knows where it's located, if it's under your document root folder. Remember to place it above! -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-ini-file.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+31958 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+31958 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+31958
