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 <Login account> <URL or IP Address of MySQL server> -L 3306:<URL or IP Address of MySQL server>: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.
