robert.juric Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've just started learning php/mysql and I was wondering how you normally handle security when you connect to the database. I've been using this statement at the beginning of my code: $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "pass", "dbname"); I've only had this running on my laptop for development, but if it were a real environment how would you secure that? I know it wasn't designed to have the password open in the source code so I must be missing something?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 PHP code that is inside of <?php ?> tags in a file that is parsed by the php language engine is not visible when you browse to the file. You only get any output that is echoed/printed... by php. Unless you have an echo "the database password is pass"; in your php code, no one can see what it is through a browser.
