Is it safe to include the db code in the php?

Is it safe to include the db username, pass, db name in the code? Or is it better to have it in a separate file that can only be viewed by certain users?

I am worried that it is not safe and anyone can access my db.
What do you think?

$connect=mysql_connect("localhost","dbuser","dbpass");
mysql_select_db("dbname",$connect) or
die (mysql_errno().":<b> ".mysql_error()."</b>");
