simple equestion about include

[aayatoos]

if i want a secuire access to the database so i am going to store the
mysql_connect("locathost","username","password"); in a include file.
and i read in some artical that i have to store it in /home/phplib

and the file that use the include file is stored /home/httpd/

my question is if i want to upload it to the internet do i have to make folders name /home/phplib and /home/httpd.

and if i have to make folders, the file that use the include
who to put the path for it
include("dbconnect.inc");
do i have to change the path to /home/phplib/dbconnect.inc

or no need to do that ?

thanks

You don't have to put it in /home/phplib if you just write the file name the compiler will look for it in ./ and in the includes path which is set in php.ini.
