hi,
im a newbie... at this point of time im not yet finished reading about php especially security topics.
i am just worried about hackers breaking in on my account on a web host (especially free web host). assuming that a hacker has successfully accessed my account (even if i used very good username and password), then normally the hacker could access any of my files as i do, and the worst of all is touching my database even if i obfuscate my php scripts (searching for the php function that connects to the database is easy).
from that point, is there any way i can protect my username and password that i used to access my database?
