mysql or mssql which one is safe??

In each mysql connection to the page we have to put mysql_connect(blah blah). When we type our password into that command, wouldn't that make it accessible for people to read? If so, how do you get around this? I know that if you view the source in the browser it doesn't show up because it has already executed but, if someone uses Getright or something like that they can still get the file and then get the password. right?

thanks
