Hi list
There's always something new to learn and this is the first time I've
really needed to secure a web session in a client project, and I'm
after a few pointers if I may...
Fundamentally, the project is an online questionnaire which stores
responses in a back-end database. That database can

This is what I thought Cheryl, but the main thing I'm after really is
pointers on how to do it. Is it just a case of programming my PHP +
MySQL app as normal but providing HTTPS addresses to my domain and
having an SSL certificate? Is it more complex than that?

SSL is the first bit as long as you make sure that every page that could
possibly access the info is forced through the SSL But encrypting the
database is out of my area. I had someone else do it on the HPPA (Healthcare
Patient Privacy Act) when I did one.
