IMHO this is not clearifying things. It's more confusing: Could you come 
up with a proposal HOW to hold DB user and pwd for DB access in PHP in 
the same process and making this NOT accessible for all functions?

The only safe solution for the moment is: a non admin is NEVER allowed 
to install ANY PHP code. So this is the same to all systems, not special 
to PHP or TYPO3 ;-)

So allowing a USER to include any PHP code is similar to stop a firewall 
and turn off your virus scanner.

Regs. Peter.
