Additionally, it is quite common for people to keep DB passwords in clear
text in code. As long as you don't do something silly like put it in a file
called connections.inc and make that http accessible, no one can get to via
a browser. And as long as your server is secure as to who can access the
WWW area of the file system, you're okay.
