php includes in readable directory [message #181832]

Hello,
I've got a website where the apache directory is available to other
users with shell accounts: /var/www/html.

If I put something like 'db_login.php' in there with a MySQL password in
it, and include it from index.php, then anyone with shell access will be
able to read it.

So I move it out, but where? Is there a 'standard' place to put stuff
like this? /usr/local seems too 'root-like', and I don't really want to
put it into my $HOME, and give httpd the right to see in there.

Thanks.
