So I've been looking for a way to secure my Connection Strings in my PHP code that connect to my SQL server. I've thought about just making the entire connection string a secret, or making just the password and username a secret.

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this though as I've seen a post suggesting using a certificate instead but I didn't quite understand it as the post was from 2010.

Addtionally, the connection to the SQL database is sent from a C# app to the PHP file on the server. The app is also used by the public.

Does anyone know the best way to secure Connection Strings in PHP?

Think you'll need to use curl and the REST api – Rob Sedgwick Mar 30 '20 at 20:37
