It does not even have to be in the htdocs directory or be configured from
Apache:

include "/etc/php_dbase.cfg";

would work. If I were Sunsite I'd let us include something like
/etc/php/lgdc.cfg, that'd be ve convenient for them to maintain and for us
to use (since it works unlike whatever the situation is now ;-)
