On Unix it is possible to make an include file with all the settings
like $user, $passwd and so on and store it somewhere in the
filesystem (not under your htdocs-path)
So no one can access this file via web
You can include this file with its variables with the include() - statement

Hi,
I suggest you use a .php file to declare your database variables and include
it everywhere you need it. Even if someone guesses the name of this file
when he tries to open it, nothing will be outputed to the screen.
an example file is
?
$dbname=name;
$dbuser=user;
$dbpass=pass;
?
Than
