Hi people!

Is this adv. poll safe? Can't hackers find my mysql username and password in that config.inc.php file? And may I delete the install.php file or not?

thanks!

might be possible.. I just use the texfile one and you dont have to worry about it :o . I'm still new to php so not sure how secure it is. Thats why i use all text file database scripts. And yes get rid of that install.php

they cannon get your info int he config.inc.php file.

If you try to view that file you will get a blank page or a forbiden notice.

MySQL is certainly the way to go.. its Much faster than using the Text files, and its better for your webserver (BTW, im a Server admin).

Always, if you have the option, us a script that uses PHP w/MySQL over CGI, and or Text File DBs.

Your server will thank you.
