http://domainname.com/register.php display a user registration form having [form action="https://domainname.com/register.php" method="post"] will the data from that page be encrypted when it is sent via https specified in the [form] action?The answer is yes. The SSL handshake will take place prior to the HTTP request (a POST request in your example) being sent. *Everything* involved in the HTTP transaction is encrypted, including the very first request, whether it is GET or POST.
