Database usernames and passwords

[Cheddar3]

Currently as it stands we need to embed the usernames and passwords for the database in the PHP code. Because the code is being pushed to github in a public repository its not exactly very secure.

This issue will need to be resolved at some point, especially before we start adding functionality to modify the database.

One possible solution is to have a PHP file that contains all the usernames/passwords for the database and then just include that in the .php files that need it. We can upload that file to the one drive and upload a blank version of it to github that needs to be filled out.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
