SQL injection is when you have user submitting data and they submit some SQL or PHP that will disrupt the SQL query in the code and cause it to either show the data, or change the data.

I dont know what you mean by safe mode, but you may want to keep that on.

There should be a link in my signature for installing a LAMP server.

EDIT:
here is a link on How To install LAMP, my link is for windows:

Thanks for prompt reply.
Actually i already installed LAMP,and now looking a simple php page with Mysql database linked. So then i will try to hack that database and then i will start working to secure it through php safemode on and Mod Security etc.
so basically i just need a PHP page code, which has MySQL database, so then i can start gaining experience working on it...Hope you understand and help me out...Thanks again

Safe mode does nothing to guard against SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Have a look at about a third of the way down and you will see some code which you can use to make a connection to a MYSQL server. If you are using PHP 5 then I suggest you look at PDO_Mysql instead or mysqli which both support the use of parametrized queries.
