[FX.php List] Lesson learned about password values

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to track down the source of unauthorized emails going 
through my mail server.  The problem is, when I first started using 
PHPMailer, I used a hard-coded Username and Password.  Guess what?  I 
now need to locate and edit every script in every project that 
contains that password pair.

If I had used a variable and stored it into a centrally-located 
include file, the change would have been made just once...or at least 
once per project.

Is server_data the right place?  If so, then that would require a 
change in every solution/project. Otherwise, where would one store a 
single server_data file that feeds all solutions?  I've heard 
discussion about not storing the server data on the same machine, 
also.

Thx

Jonathan
