If you know you are running on an apache server, you could try using a
simple .htaccess file in a (say) etc directory which contains any or all
files you wish to secure.
ie:
/index.php
/etc/config.php
/etc/.htaccess
--index.php--------
<?php
include("etc/config.php");
...
?>
--etc/config.php--------
$config['db_host']="sql";
$config['db_name']="root";
$config['db_pass']="hooray";
?>
--etc/.htaccess--------
deny from all
And that's it!
