Security: Exchanging sensitive form data without SSL

[atropozzz]

ciao tutti!

i want to store for example creditcard numbers in a db on the webserver. therefore the user has to enter the information into an html form which sends the data using the methods POST or GET (which are not save). so, how can i encrypt the sensitive data before sending it to the script which writes it to a db?

grazie mille!

For anything as sensitive as CC numbers you really do want a secure connection to the server, anything else would be liable to abuse.
Check with your host to see if you can use ssl or similar connections.
