title: Hide PHP password in HTML Link
body: <p>first time posting here, english is not my native language ^^.</p>
  
  <p>I need to display and control a IP camera stream on my website. I try it in the following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;?php
   $user = "user";
   $password = "password";
  
   echo "&lt;img alt='' src='http://cameralink.nl/videostream.cgi?user=
   {$user}&amp;pwd={$password}'&gt;";
  
   ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem: If I look into the source code, I'll see the username and password in plain text, and that is of course not the intention. Is there a way to change this?</p>
  
  <p>Thnx!</p>
