I know that ~.my.cnf with

  [client]
  password={mypass}

is the recommended method of securing your MySQL password when using a
shell command line to access MySQL.

But what is the recommended method for MySQL password security via
PHP?  Is there some way to make it use the ~.my.cnf file?

It seems to me that if you hardcode a MySQL password into your PHP
source code, it could become exposed inadvertently.
