php password protection issue

[vitotol]

hello guys, i have a problem and i need some help...

i have a php script that creates an image which shows some info taken from a database.
to display the image to the browser through the url, the script must have read permissions so the password can be read.

how can i protect the password, i tried to get it from an included php file but it must be readable too. what should i do:confused:???

Hi,

Any password scripts that I include are never web facing. Set permissions like how you need and then

You could just go something like



<?php
include ("../../../../password.php");
?>


Hope this gives you some ideas
