Urbley Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This is a basic question and probably 1 with a thousand answers. I'm quite new to the whole game so please try and be patient with me. Ok I have a blog. Stored on a MySQL table. I have no problems accessing the information in the database, not problems displaying it or formatting it. My question is, If I have just used the database username and password in the php in the document, could a person not simply use a download program to directly download my php file and retrieve the username and password? What's the best way about doing this securely? Steve Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40845-php-mysql-secure-login/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orio Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 No one can download your php files without them being processed by the server, unless someone has direct connection to server- such as ftp. Orio.
