Encoded/Encrypted conf_global.php in IPS 4.0?

Featured Replies

conf_global.php contain a password and username to access MySQL. Anyone know how to make this configuration encrypted?

Thank you

you can use ioncube or zend guard but it's still not safe, you still can see all details easily

<?php
    include "conf_global.php";
    print_r($INFO);
?>

It is perfectly safe to have the MySQL access details stored in that way. The only way a person can read them is with direct access to your server's filesystem, at which point any encryption would be useless, as they would also have the key to that encryption.

Would also add to this that I haven't seen a single piece of software in php where i can't get to the username and password from the file system. This is simply the norm and perfectly secure.
