Security: SSL & sending e-mails with PHP

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to security.

I have an SSL secured form, that a user would fill out with confidential info. I want to send the info filled in to my e-mail address.

First off, can I do that securely? The info might be secure within the server, but will it still be secure (encrypted?) until it reaches its destination e-mail?

Also, how would I send that e-mail out? I could just stick the info to the URL with the $HTTP_GET_VARS, and then send out the e-mail based on those variables... But, to put a credit card number, for example, as part of a URL? That doesn't sound secure. Or is it?

If there's any tutorial that I can be pointed to, that would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

Yoni
