the best lesson you can give yourself is by downloading and firing up a free
packet analysis tool like Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) or my favorite
Packetyzer (http://www.networkchemistry.com/products/packetyzer/) and watch
what really happens between your client/browers and server/apache/php/mysql,
if somewhere along thoses lines you capture your own application password it
would be wise to think about starting to encrypt ...
