Secure forms

[SteveMilbourne]

Hi,

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere but I couldn't find any reference to it.

I am looking at trying to add one or two forms to a website which will require security. These forms will contain personal data and payment details. Is this something that can be done on this site? If so how do I do it? And if not any recommendations of who I shoud go to?

I am a complete novice at this and in the process of designing my first website so any help will be greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Steve

hi welcome to x10 :-)

what is going to be done with the data after the user enters it (eg store it)
can i have a bit more of an example please?

well this is simple .i will tell abt that.
here is the html code: (save as form.html for example)

<form action="file.php" method="get">
<input type="text" size="10" name="secretname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="click">
</form>

here is the php code: save this file as file.php

<?php
$name = $_GET['secretname'];
the name is $name .
?>

now open form.html and enter the secret name\something. you can see uar name in a php file ....

this is a simple example.
use this priciple for all forms which is much safer.
