In the docs, why does it recommend that the first four database connection options (login info for the database) be moved to an include file, since the php code from your calling program can't be accessed from a browser?

why can't you just rename the files with a common ext like .rn for rename and then cat the files and replace a string?

Because if there is a misconfiguration of your server, php code may became avalaible (or if calling php preprocessor failed, for another example).
If your login/password are put in an include folder that is not exposed by the Web Server, your confidentials infos can't be accessed.
