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.
