Hi,It is unsafe to store any PHP code in .inc files, due to default Apache configuration. By default, web server will not process them with PHP but output to browser as plain text.
The solution widely used for this situation is to store PHP configuration files in .inc.php files, because fully working Apache + PHP will process this file through PHP Preprocessor and will not display plain text but will output formatted HTML.

Hi, First off i'm not a PHP programmer but I would like toknow the following:Is it standard to use INC files to store MYSQL dbconnections settings (username and password)?What else could you do to make this "safer" ? I presume Apache looks for files with extention "*.INC" and does not processes them, right ? Thanks you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam? Yahoo!
