Hi
I put all my constants in a single include file, this helps when
uploading sites as you can put the whole site up excluding this one
file and not worry about losing settings.

By default apache will send .inc files out without parsing them. If
you want to get it parsed and also label that its an include file you
can call it .inc.php rather than just .inc. You could also modify the
apache conf file to get it to parse the .inc files as .php which can
be a bit tricky if you are not hosting the site yourself.

Hi,

First off i'm not a PHP programmer but I would like to
know the following:

Is it standard to use INC files to store MYSQL db
connections settings (username and password)?

What else could you do to make this "safer" ?

I presume Apache looks for files with extention
"*.INC" and does not processes them, right ?

Thanks you
