Your form action parameter has an absolute url specifying an https protocol. When the browser submits the form, it uses the url you specify which is https. So the request is going to be encrypted. You might consider serving the form page from https as well to kind of tighten things up a little, but the data will be posted under https which is an encrypted connection. Your main problem is going to be the fact that the http and https services are accessing two different file system spaces (or they should be unless you've got your server badly misconfigured) so the http://...register.php is going to be a different file from the https://...register.php. You might want to reconsider your design.
