I am accessing a database on my site from another site - I am not the only developer on the other site and there is the potential for someone to access the database for nefarious purposes from the other site. Can I somehow protect the password and still have it work? Or I had thought of this but I didn't know if it wuld or should work - include all my database routines in an include file and do something like include once "http://domain.com/include.php" would that even work?
