Quick php question (arrays...)

is it good/safe to strucure the config file that defines db connectios (like host, user, pass, etc) like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
$dbinfo = array(
        'host'        =>        'localhost',
        'dbname'    =>        'project',
        'user'        =>        'user',
        'pass'        =>        'pass'
        )
?>

and when I want to call those I will type (using host as ex.):

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
echo $dbinfo['host'];
?>

is this very secure? or is just regular variables safer?

From a security point of view, there is no difference between an array and a non-array variable.

Perhaps this may be of some help to you. Personally I'd keep it how you are. Arrays allow you to organize your data structures into groups which is just a nicer way IMO :)
