sending creditcardnumber via PHP mailform in flash

[sense]

hi, working with Flash MX.

I have a mailform in wich you fill out your creditcardnumber.

What is the best way to protect the data that is being sent...

I have absolutely no clue on this one..


Thought I heard about encrypting the data? how can this be done.

tnx

thanks but that is not exactly what I'm looking for.

More specific..

I use loadVariables() in flash and a backend PHP program which saves the data into a MY SQL Server.

how can I protect the information?

ok, I'm not sure exactly. Here is something else...

you could check PHP manual... www.php.net

Also run a search thru google...

You'll need to enable the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) on the page that submits the credit card information to the server. To do so you or your client will need to purchase a secure certificate for that domain. http://www.thawte.com is the most widely used. The client's web host will probably have to apply on the client's behalf then install the certificate. The bottom line: It's the SSL, not a PHP scripting command, that encrypts the data passed from the browser back to the server.
