I'm currently writing an application for the iPhone, and I need to retrieve data from a MySQL database that is remotely hosted.
I have decided to use PHP to be my "middle man", retrieving the data from SQL, and parsing it to XML.
I will host the PHP file at the same domain as my MySQL server, and call to it in Objective-C. Example: http://backend.foobar.com/retrieve.php
My question is, are there any security issues retrieving information in this way?
I am not transmitting any sensitive data, I'm just thinking database integrity etc.
Thanks guys!
