Hey. Am new to the world of web programming and learning a bunch of fairly simple new pieces of tech, trying to piece them all together.
So, we have a simple client (currently iPhone, to move to J2ME soon) that's pulling down lists of data via PHP, which is talking to a MySQL db. I have a rudimentary user/login system so that data is only served to someone who matches a known user etc, either on the website or on the client.
All the php scripts on the website that query the DB check to make sure an active session is in place, otherwise dumping the user back to the login screen.
I've read a little about SSL and want to know if that is sufficient to protect the website AND the data passing between the server and the client?
