AW: Making the content of LC Server Scripts Safe

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

I think it's not special to LiveCode server scripts. If you communicate from
LiveCode via PHP to a MySQL db, the db credentials are in the PHP files also
"visible". You only can protect you server dir with htaccess from being
ripped. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
