Alrighty I have been coding stuff like forums and what not for some time now. But, my friend wants me to help him with a charitable foundation that is going to accept donations. He is setting up an account with a merchant services website to take the payments and process them. I need to know or getting pointing to how I go about setting up a SSL certificate and how I make it secure for a person to enter their CC number on my page and send it to the merchant for processing. Any one who has experience please lend me a hand I am just trying to increase the scope of my knowledge of PHP. Thanks in advance!

    Can you not just send them straight to the merchant, the chances are they will have a very secure website.

      Hi,
      When processing any secure information it is essential that it is on ssl. Though these can be expensive. I would just use a gateway like paypal or protox.

        Paypal does not require that you have a SSL certificate, all the credit card details are taken on the paypal website.
