knowram Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I am setting up a site where security is a question. My question is if you have page with text boxes that you submit to the following page how is the information passed? Dose it travel to the server that is hosting the site and then back to the users computer, or just from one page to the next? Is there anyway that the information form the text boxes could be intersected by a third party?Any information on the topic will be appreciated.thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18826-form-workings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 It's sent using POST or GET to the server and it can be intercepted. If you wish to prevent that you need to encrypt the connection using SSL.

knowram Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 So if that is the case. Am I right in assuming that the information that was posted is stored on the sites hosting server until it is retrieved in the next page? Is it stored there longer then that? Or is it stored somewhere else as well? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/18826-form-workings/#findComment-82266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 It's not stored at all (except in transient processing before it's thrown away), merely used in parsing the next page request.
