Connect to MySQL Database Using PHP

["Paul Higgins" <developer_paul_php@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I currently connect to my database (MySQL) through PHP with the following 
lines:


$db = mysql_connect( 'host', 'userName', 'password');
mysql_select_db( "database_name", $db);

The host, userName, and password are all hard coded into the PHP document.  
I would prefer not to do this.  How can I connect to the database without 
having my sensitive information hard coded into the PHP?

Thanks,

Paul
