Just as a word of advice (sorry if you were already aware of this). Files
with a .inc extension are not parsed as PHP by the PHP engine by default,
thus by typing in the URL of the .inc file, a user can read all the source
code in that file - which may contain unencrypted passwords etc.
I once found a major ISP who did not realise this, and consequently I was
able to read all the MySQL Usernames, passwords and servers from their .inc
files. They were able to fix it very easily by adding the inc extension to
the list of parsed files.
