Form -> MySql -> Email?

[szym9341]

I can't seem to get started in my research, so I'm looking for some direction. I want to have a html form on a SSL page. No problem. Then, I want the data inserted into a MySQL database.. again no problem. The client, however, would like to have the data emailed also... how can I assure them that the emailed data is also encrypted? (It will contain Credit Card #, SSN, DoB, etc...) Looking for any direction. Thanks.

You would need to use PGP to encrypt the email contents

thanks for the link... It is a great resource. Do you know if banks and online stock portfolios use an encryption like this to send new passwords from scripts to email?

No clue. The online portfolios might, but banks are touchy about sending passwords via email...encrypted or not.
