title: Hiding Database Configuration - Codeigniter
body: <p>So I just finished my first php codeigniter application, and I am about to deploy it to a server.  However, I've heard it's very bad practice to keep database settings in your document root. Does Codeigniter somehow hide the settings in application/config/database.php or should I move the entire application folder elsewhere and reference it from index.php?  Thanks!</p>
