[Database connect page - private?]

Hey all,

I'm sure this is a really basic question but I'd like a definite answer.  I've been watching a tutorial and seeing some site references regarding connecting to a sql database using php.  Since it contains a password to the database, my question is, how secure is this page on a webserver, or does it not even matter since the code is so specific to the website and the database it is connecting to.

Thank you in advance.

Hello All,

I wanted to give a quick introduction to myself.  My name is Chris and I'm attempting to learn full stack web development.  I've already got WAMP installed and I'm coding in an IDE.  I am an electrical engineer by degree but I have not attempted to code in about 15 years.

I look forward to gaining knowledge from the current members of this forum!

Thank you
Chris
