There is no need to run your db on vmware... If they're on the same machine the connection always goes through the local loopback device thus never touching the actual network.
This is true both when the DB host is specified as 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' and if the machine's actual host name or outside network address is used (in which case the OS will/should recognise that it's actually a local connection and uses the loopback)
데이터베이스 접속하기
보안을 증가하기 위하여, 클라이언트/서버 간 통신을 암호화하는 SSL 접속을 할 수 있습니다. 또는 클라이언트와 데이터베이스 서버간의 네트워크 접속을 암호화하기 위하여 ssh를 사용할 수 있습니다. 어떠한 방법을 사용하건, 공격자가 트래픽 감시로 데이터베이스에 관한 정보를 얻기 어렵게 합니다.

Even if webserver and DBMS are on the same phisical machine one can separate networks by setting database in virtual server inside the main system (using for example VMware solutions).

Another solution to protect your database is to have a seperate backend network exclusively used for database traffic. Your webserver(s) would have two interface cards: one facing the world, one facing the internal database network. This way- there's no chance of intercepting database traffic from the outside.

Obviously, this does not apply if PHP and the DBMS are running on the same machine.
