You could move the virtual host to its own file, only readable by root (and include this virtual host-file in httpd.conf). Use SetEnv in this virtual host to set values like DBUSER, DBPASS and so on: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_env.html#setenv You can choose whatever names you like. The PHP script would then just have to read these environment values to retrieve username and password. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
