Hi there, I'm interested in using this plugin:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/parris/2009/07/08/paypal-payments-component-using-curl

It's a component which as the name suggests uses curl to interact with
paypal. In the code there is a constants.php file which is where all
the defines are, like username and password for the paypal API. But
there's a note saying: "IMPORTANT - HAVING YOUR API PASSWORD INCLUDED
IN THE MANNER IS NOT SECURE, AND ITS ONLY BEING SHOWN THIS WAY FOR
TESTING PURPOSES"

The constants.php file is going to be in the vendors/paypal folder
which is outside the docroot, and therefore I thought it would be
reasonably safe. How come it's not and what do I need to do to make it
safe?

Thanks in advance ;)
Sarah
