Thanks for your reply! :)

Frontend and backend (the admin backpanel) are written in php and I 
think I understood I should use PDO...

I need to know how to plan my project to improve security, my website 
and mobile app will be like a social network, I'll have (I hope!) a lot 
of users which will have their data showed on the frontpanel and a 
backpanel where the admin will manage all data and "power users" a piece 
of data.

Now I'm writing the project in my free time and I can do everything but 
I'd like to do the best things for security, I'm a Unix like users from 
1996, I use Debian from 2003 and also Kali for pentest.
