Sorry if this has been answered, but a search turned up nothing useful. I am looking to incorporate a simple online ordering section to my website, simple as in: it will merely send in an email containing the ordering info, and the order will then be completed as if it were a phone order or something. I hope you can see what I am getting at, but my question is basically this: I could use either a PHP script that would send the email automatically (or i guess, put it in some sort of “order database”) or use “mailto” to send a filled out email from the users address. Now, is either method secure enough to send credit card information? if they both are, is one more secure than the other? if neither is secure, is there any way to send credit card information through fmx? thanks for the help! ---

If you will be asking for credit card info, you should go through a provider - to guarantee security. Take a look here. [http://www.thawte.com/](http://www.thawte.com/) TD ---

If I am hosting the site myself, do I still need to take that step? ---
