I had "heard" the same recommendation - store sensitive data outside
of the /www directory structure. So, I created a directory called

include("/home/xyz/includes/globals.php"); and this worked fine. My
website is running on paid server space.Jim --- In [email protected], "Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Patrick, > I must have worded the question wrong, *grin*. > > In all my books, it recommends storing sensitive data (DB > passwords etc) below root.
