access with PHP a sensitive passwords files, eg db.php, outs

The way access with PHP a sensitive passwords files, eg db.php, outside web reach is the same in a VPS LAMP like XAMPP?

How do this in XAMPP?

Sorry, but i do not understand that question. There is no "PHP behaviour" for Password files, it behaves like you have programmed the PHP Script.

No.. I mean - I keep password vars for MySQL - in a separate PHP file.
How put & access this file out of web reach/access...?

Put the outside of DocumentRoot, PHP can access the file normally via full pathname.

C:\xampp\db.php


Example:

In C:/xampp/htdocs/siteY/index.php you can include db.php:

Code: Select all
<?php

include "C:/xampp/db.php";
...
?>

ACK. However, you could even use a relative file path:
Code: Select all
<?php

include 
"..\..\db.php";
...
?>

I dont like that and had lots of problems with Xitami (another webserver), due to the problem that Xitamit does not address relatively to DocumentRoot (as Apache does), but to ServerRoot. It is safe to preceed a Server Variable (for example $_SERVER['DocumentRoot']) for the included path.

best approach i think is the following:
Code: Select all
include __DIR__ . '/../../db.php';
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!

It's like porn for programmers 8)
