1. the only other ways to pass things around would be in sessions, or by
setting a cookie on the user's computer... i hate the latter, and would
prefer the former, but would NEVER carry things like a MySQL uname and
password around in cookies or sessions. cookies, sessions, and even post &
get (url) should be used for user-specific things (who are they, what are
they asking the server to do), not program-related things (like the database
password, or the global font size, or the site admin's email address... this
is generally done with a config file or other included file:
2. you could define your vars (like the MySQL uname and pword) in a config
file, and include it at the top of all your PHP scripts:
<? include('incdir/config.php'); ?>
<html>
...
</html>
3. you can extend this further, by setting a value php.ini (auto-prepend I
think) so that PHP will ALLWAYS includes the config file at the top of every
script.
