PHP-Survey is an online survey creation and management system written in PHP. It uses a MySQL database on backend for all data handling. Global.inc holds the database information, and settings for the survey's interface. Global.inc on default settings is not interpreted by PHP hence any user can make an HTTP request for global.inc and will be able to view the source code, hence the database password, username, localhost is revealed, and also superuser information for the administration of the poll survey. A solution might be to rename global.inc to global.inc.php.
