You could move the connection info outside the web document tree and include
it in your php scripts using an absolute path...e.g.

Web server root is /home/httpdocs so you put config file in /home/phpconfigs
and your scripts include('/home/phpconfigs/whatever.php');
NB If you have to run PHP with open_basedir and safe_mode  enabled then this
won't work
