Re: How can I secure my site?

Hi
I use mysql as db and i have written sql injection and I think
database is secure now. but I have a login form. I want to secure user
login datas.
If I copy my code in https folder on my host, are all transmissions
encrypted? how can I find the algorithm and methods that my host uses
to encryption?
