Hello.  I am brand new to site and just starting some development.  I have a connect.php page that contains all the information to connect to my MYSQL DB.  I read that it is not as secure to have the connect.php in the same directory or subdirectorys as the rest of your page.  Is there anyway to have the connection page outside your root directory on 110mb?

place in the folder 'unreadable' (cretae it yourself) external peopel cannot view it in their browser/any way, but your local scripts can still read it fine..
