I want to get the CC information securely to my customer so they can process for payment. I was thinking of using the database feature because I could store the CC# there until my customer was ready to take it and process the order. These are small time customers. I can't afford pgp for my server or do my customers particularly want to pay the fee's associated with Internet Merchant accounts or cybercash type systems. I am just attempting to skirt the system and go with a little to no cost solution. Isn't that what open source is all about? :) TIA Scott
