What is the best way of securing my database against hackers. I use this code below:

PHP

<?php

$sname=mysql_escape_string(trim($_POST['sname']));


$insert=mysql_query("INSERT INTO user(sname) VALUES(sname)");


if ($insert){

echo "success";

}

else{

echo "not successful";

}

?>

Will this be enough to secure my database?

Security of you data requires taking quite a number of factors into consideration, some that pop up to mind are:

1. Encryption of data in the DB.
2. Transport layer encryption.
3. Username & Password protection, strength and encryption/hashing.
4. SQL Injection and other data level ditch-holes.

Good luck,
