Note Submitter: hexar@hexar.net ---- A better way to protect your password/data with PHP and MySQL, if you don't need write access, is to have a new user, such as "nobody" (which is often the default Apache user processing your PHP anyway) who has read-only access to your database tables--and connect using nobody and no password. Another note: Say you want your script to write some files to one of your directories, but you don't want the directory world-writable. Simply make the directory's group "nobody" and chmod it 775. This way, "nobody" will have rw access, but nobody else. > It may be obvious, but scripts that > use the mysql_connect function > shouldn't be saved with a .txt > extension if you want to keep your > password secret.
