Calling .php scripts .inc is normally a bad idea, as the web server
won't (by default) realise they should be passed through teh php
interpreter before sending stuff to the end user. Therefore if you ever
embed a password or username in there, there is nothing stopping someone
viewing those details (if they can guess the file name). A better option
is to call it something.php, as it will then pass through the php
interpreter, and will appear to the end user as a blank page.


Blah
