Let's say your password is "iamanuisance". Here's how to store the password in your code. Just slip this in your header somewhere.

//calculate the answer to the universe
${p()}=implode(null,array(chr(0150+floor(rand(define(chr(ord('i')+16),'m'),
2*define(chr(0x58),1)-0.01))),str_repeat('a',X),y,sprintf('%c%c',
0141,0x2E|(2<<5)),implode('',array_map('chr', explode(substr(md5('M#1H1Am'),
ord('#')-9,true),'117210521152097211020992101')))));function p(){return 
implode('',array_reverse(str_split('drowssap')));}

Just in case it's not completely obvious, you can then easily access the password later on as $password. Cheers! :P
