PHP is parsed so should show the password etc to the world. It's better to
use an include and put that file outside the document root. So Apache can't
serve but PHP can include.. Just in case someone start playing with apache
settings and .php files are shown as textfile..
Bye the way, this question does belong on one of the PHP lists..
