I am writing php on a server(OS:linux,WebServer:apache) that other users can write cgi and have shell on it . I want to connect to a postgres server in my php file without asking username and password ! then I must write the username and password in this file . Then other users can read it and drop my database . can I connect to the postgres through .php file without a security bog? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
