MYSQL and PHP

[John Madden <chiwawa999 () yahoo com>]

Hi,

First off i'm not a PHP programmer but I would like to
know the following: 

Is it standard to use INC files to store MYSQL db
connections 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
