    Hello all,

    I recently created a website for my brother's new business, from it users can send him questions/comments through the use of a feedback form.

    How can I make sure that it is 100% safe and secure enough to use?

    You can see the page here:

    If you need to send some feedback tell me first so that I can have it sent to me rather than my brother.

    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Niall

    Create banner "Secured Page" and use HTTPS

    The first part is to use a SSL to get a secure (https) page which will encrypt the data as it travels from them to your server.

    The next part depends on what happens with comments.php. Do the details get stored in a database? emailed?

    If it is a database stored form then you just need to make sure that the page you view the results in is also in the SSL protected area. If it is emailed to you then it does get more complicated as the email will have to be encrypted to prevent the encoded message from your client being decoded and sent to you from the server as plain text/ html
