[snip] I realize the key needs to be stored somewhere which is part of the problem of how to make it a bit more secure. I just don't feel safe if a password in a flat file in clear text. Ideally the database should support something like an ssh style public/private Key auth where the private Key is stored internally to the database. Though I don't know if any databases out there actaully do that or if it would be worth the time to set up and learn for me. [/snip]
Have you aactually checked the documentation of your database? It may be quite simple. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
