jdm95lude Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I have created a form using xhtml with JavaScript validations. If I have this form sent via email using php will it be secure? I'm new to php so didn't know exactly how that works. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm95lude Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 well how are most order forms with credit card and personal information sent then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amites Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I've seen them handled a few ways, for one make sure you are working with an SSL connection from client to server, once it hits the server you can save part of the CC# to a mysql DB with encryption and then email part of it to yourself, then put them together manually, or my personal recommendation pay the extra few cents to have a 3rd party handle the processing, there are a number of laws that come into effect when dealing with CC #'s being stored, liability is rarely worth it can be as simple as working with Paypal and the Payflow Pro system, not terribly difficult to get your mind wrapped around for how to implement, and there are many classes and functions available that can take care of most of it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
