Re: How to store password for mysql_connect()

I choose no (ii):)

How to store the password for the mysql_connect function of php in the php-file.

I could also ask: Is it (1) possible - somehow - to save the password in that form, in which MySQL compares it and (2) to notify MySQL when connecting, that the submitted password is already in encrypted form. I know that this is not perfect security, but it is more secure than storing it in clear text or base64.

Best regards,

Oliver Block
