Is it possible to encrypt the MySQL server details?

[mesh2005]

I wrote a PHP script to communicate with MySQL server. The problem is any network sniffer can easily get the server info (host,username,...) from the packets. Is there any way to protect this info?

Just to clarify: are you submitting the server info via a HTML form of some kind? If so, the best solution would be to use a SSL connection. If not (i.e.: the server details are in your PHP script), then nothing is being sent across the internet for sniffers to pick up.
