To me it somehow seems that the original poster is worried about
someone taking a short look on the code, and being able to read the
password. I understood that there is no need to be able to permanently
obfuscate the password for those who have full access to the code.
If however that is the requirement, you are out of luck. I've never
used Zend's platform products, but they might have some kind of
solution to that. Well, I was just thinking about similar behavior to
Weblogic, where the db passwords are stored and connections created
via manager-software. Something like this could of course be
implemented quite straightforwardly as php-extension, but whether that
would be worth the effort is another issue. So the user doesn't write:
<code>
mysql_connect("server", "username", "pass");
</code>
But rather:
<code>
$MyPlatform::getMysqlConnection("TheConnectionForMySyStem");
</code>
Or whatever.
