Hi, I am a newbie in Mysql and is confused about setting login/passwords. Just want a simple security measure as I am the only user. Here's the scenario: I managed to connect using PHP to mysql via the mysql_connect without using any hostname/password. What do I change to impose this security measure. The hostname and password will be keep in a *.inc file outside the web root directory. Thanks Nyon --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
