Apart from a secure host, with a secure firewall and a secure password there's not many things you can do about external security. I am not an expert in security so I can't really tell;
About script security make sure you escape any string that the a player may send into a query or you may suffer SQL injections which can crash your server or DB.

Thank you, but I don't understand what have I to do ?
For exemple for a register system, when I have to save the player password, I should use this ?
If I use "mysql_format" Is that secure ?

Use mysql_format everytime you pass a string as an argument in a query.
