jj33 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Is there a way I pass a password from a html form into a php file securely so that I could set a variable.

cooldude832 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 For most applications POST is a secure enough method. For increased security a security certificate is suggested and SSL encryption.

discomatt Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 SSL is the only 'secure' way. Any other method will be transmitted in plain text... doesn't mean it's easy to intercept though.

jj33 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I had read that post might not be that secure but I thought about it and for my program it would never reveal any account with privileges anywhere near admin. I guess I needed a second opninion.Thanks.

cooldude832 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 if your application has no finical risk or important info to hide (SSN Bank records etc.) POST is fine Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113968-solved-passing-form-variables-securely/#findComment-585733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj33 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 the worst they could do is post a few bad words in a forum but it would be easier to create a new account to do that.
