Erica Can I suggest that you use PGP to send the information encrypted. There is a wonderful script which can be found here:
http://www.phpuk.org/code.php We use this on various sites to encrypt sensitive information In terms of a server certificate, you will need this to protect the client from entering information into a form on the site. Server certs encrypt the traffic between the browser and the server. Hope this helps Ade --- i n o v i c a h o s t i n g . c o m ---------- Powerful hosting from www.inovicahosting.com ---------------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: Erica Douglass [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 11 December 2001 03:48 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Encrypted pages/email with PHP? > > > (posting again because it looks like the first one didn't go through) > > Hi, > > I've sniffed around on Google and PHPBuilder, but I can't seem to find any > information on creatnig encrypted pages with PHP. > > Here is what I am looking for.
