Secured Order Form

[capecod]

I now have visitors fill out an order form on a secured page but the form (with credit card numbers) is then emailed to me. I know this is not safe but what other way can I get this info? I'd rather not use Mal's e-commerce. Is there a way to get the form info into a database or some other retrieveable place? I do not need the credit card "processed." I just need the info to go safely from the visitor to me.

You can pretty simply create a database and have the 'action' of the form call a php script that puts the info into the database. If you're new to programming and/or databases with php, I reccommend Kevin Yank's excellent article.

 

Please keep asking if that doesn't do it for you.

Also, Phorm (www.phorm.com) will log html form results to a comma-separated text file or mysql database. There is a free version available. It's pretty easy to set up and has worked great for me for a couple of years.
