    Hey guys

    I want to set up a secure form so people can make credit card payments from my site. I have SSL on my hosting account, and i want the data enetered in the forms to go to a database, does anyone know if this is possible or if their is a more secure way of doing this.

    Thanks

    SSL should do it, but you have to make sure when the user is entering his info he is connected using SSL, that is, he is viewing your form using:
    https://path to your form

    I wouldn't save credit card information in a database though, if someone gets their hands on them, you are in trouble...

    Yep, huge fines from VISA and MasterCard. I imagine the other card companies would have fines as well.

    What would you suggest would be the best option to store these details then, I thought the SSl and database option was the best. I am currently using SSL, however i want it all encrypted, and the ebst way to do that is to send it to a database right?

    If their is a better way round this then please let me know
