Where to put the PHP code?

[mdevelle]

Does it ever make sense to put the PHP included code OUTSIDE of the public_html (document root) area of your website? This implies that the PHP 'include' function can get at it but that prying eyes cannot. This would be a good place for database ID and passwords, for instance. Thanks and I your service!!
