need info on securing database creds

Recommended Posts

I have a situation where I can't use a usual method of putting server variables in httpd.conf to retrieve database credentials from a config file on root dir.

 

I was wondering if there was a safe way i could access this file from a php script; currently i'm thinking i can just store it in session variables and use that everywhere,, but i'm a little nervous about doing that - i'm afraid someone else could include that script across domains and access my creds in the session vars..
