It's no different than putting it in a "config.php" file.

If you feel uncomfortable with it in there then put the database information in another file and then just put an include statement in the index.php file.

somefile.php:

PHP Code:

<? 
$vbhost   = "localhost"; 
$vbuser   = "your_db_username"; 
$vbpass   = "your_db_password"; 
$vbname   = "your_db_name"; 
?>

index.php:

PHP Code:

<? 
$userid   = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbuserid']; 
$password = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['bbpassword']; 
include('somefile.php');
$vb=mysql_connect("$vbhost","$vbuser","$vbpass"); 
mysql_select_db($vbname,$vb) or die ("Forum Database Connectivity Error"); 

$vbsql=mysql_query("select * from user where userid = '$userid'"); 
$vbinfo=@mysql_fetch_array($vbsql); 

$username=$vbinfo[username]; 
?>
