Database Attack

Is there a definative way to stop hacking attempts?

What kinda of things should i be looking out for?

Any good tutorials/examples?

I think i am getting a resonable grasp of PHP but i fear i dont know enough about security and good practice in that regard.

Thanks

No, there is not. There are a number of common vulnerability classes which you may want to research further.

Look up the causes, and mitigation and fixes for the following:

SQL injection
Cross-site scripting
Cross-site request forgery
Logic bugs in authentication / authorisation.

I believe these are the most common types of vulnerability in web applications. Each has its own method to fix - some are non-trivial.

Look these up - others will have written about them.
