Scape PHP file from website


jsparrow

Recommended Posts

I have been learning and practicing PHP and mySQL on a laptop that I have a server set up on. 

 

My PHP index file accesses the database using the mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypassword');

 

When I upload these files to my web host I put the files in the public directory so that they are accessable on the internet.  My worry is that some type of web scraper utility can download the php file and read my login name and password. 

 

Are PHP files somehow protected from being downloaded in some type of scraper utility even though they are in a public folder or should I put it in another folder?
