Karam,
A much more secure way is to use OpenSSH (www.openssh.org) to create an
encrypted connection between the local machine and the MySQL server and to
use the -L option to forward MySQL commands from the localhost to the MySQL
server.
For example,
ssh -l -L 3306::3306
Once the ssh connection has been made you tell your client program that the
MySQL server is on localhost and ssh will encrypt and forward the commands
to the actual server.

Hello,
Recently lot of MySQL clients try to overcome host
based privilege system of MySQL by using PHP tunneling
method.
In this method they call up a PHP file in the server
and the PHP file executes a query and sends the data
in XML format.
I am using C API() and I was just wondering if
somebody is working on such tunnels i.e. a PHP file
and its corresponding C/++ code that will fill up
MYSQL_RES structures correctly so that I can use them
to C API() without any problem. Otherwise, i guess i
have to write one for myself.

Karam
