Re: MYSQL and PHP

Windows provides a way in ASP.NET to store the user/pass encrypted in the registry and simply referencing it in your 
web.config
allows it to automagically work. I'm curious what solutions for php exist to allow encrypted storage of sql login 
credentials
so we can avoid the whole storage in cleartext on the filesystem?
