Hi there,
I am having trouble with an application I am working on and I'm hopeful that a new mind will help me solve it.
The app consists of an administration section that is accesible to many users who can login to a session based, password/md5encrypted admin area to update their information (all under the same mysql user with full permissions), and a front end that is displayed on several different domains/servers.
The easy solution of course is to keep a copy of the db connect script on the server for each of the domains/servers.
Problem: my hosting provider doesn't allow to have more than one mysql user per database, and I am not too eager to have the read/write user info open to anyone with those particular domains' FTP info.
Also a concern, I had (until now) planned on keeping the connect script above the root folder where it could not be accessed via URL (thank you PHPBuilder board!). Of course I can't do this if I am going to use the same script on other sites, linked to via the include (http://www.site.com/connectscript.inc.php) method. Which I cannot get to work anyway, and I am finding mixed ideas on this board as to whether this works or not.
Does someone have a suggestion as to how to proceed? The only other way I can see operating this way, again, using one database to populate content across many domains, is to use frames, which I am not too eager to delve into.
Any suggestions, as always, appreciated.
And happy easter.
