 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.
