If the users dont have access via ftp to your htm-doc's but only see the result in browser, you have no problems in having the MySQL-password in the php-section of the login-doc.
The users will never see the php-part of the doc, because it's a server-side part and will only produce the html-code you want it to produce. If your users have ftp-access to docs, you have a problem.
