You're right, I did a quick search on the web and the following thread on
phpbuilder has some sort of solution. Again, I haven't tested this so I
can't vouch for it!

<tip type="php security" author="benji">
When connecting to your database, put the username and password in an
include file, and include it on every page.

If the php parser throws a paddy and displays the source code, then your
username and password will still be unavailable to view. Make sure the
include file is kept outside of the public tree as well, so it can't be
downloaded by unscrupulous types.
