This is probably true for other languages as well. I've created several websites by now, many of which use databases (usually mySQL). I need to store the database password somewhere in the sourcecode, but this seems like a security problem, and a a bit like a hack. Is there a better way to store the password, apart from a config file which is included everywhere I need to use the database?
