Howdy,
I'm looking for ways to better enforce user password security through
MySQL. Currently, it does not appear that there are any restrictions on
minimum length, password expiration times or strong password checking.
Other than educating the users directly, is there a way to enforce any

Hi,
How do you keep MySQL password out of view of visitors when needed in PHP to access
the db. The password is in plain english in all the php files, and can be easily
downloaded by anyone.

ex:
? mysql_connect(host, user, password);
mysql_select_db(database);
?

PHP is parsed so should show the password etc to the world. It's better to
use an include and put that
