secure server

[Anon]

I was wondering whether anybody could give me some advice about form posting using php.

I have a php/mysql application. I intend to "post" using a form login details from a "http" page to a "https" page. Will this be securely encrypted, or does it have to be posted from an "https" form page to a "https" page?

I would rather post from "http" to "https". Is there anyway I can test it has been encrypted?

Any advice is really appreciated.

The browser will handle the encryption for you. Anytime a browser encounters an HTTPS request, it automatically invokes SSL encryption for you, so you need not worry.
And yes, you can post to HTTPS from an HTTP page.
