[raceway99]

hi,

im going to buy a new domain with ssl certificate but only want a couple of pages to use it (out of the 6 pages i need), with the rest using an un-encrypted connection. is this possible?

cheers for the help and soz for the late reply...

@RoyMi6 its for passing data using post and php and a mysql database

BTW ive never used SSL before and only been using php/mysql for a couple of days and i just assumed ssl would be a good way to increase security

I assume you'll be using it to protect personal information such as login and address details, payment information?

yup its to protect username/password/email in a database

EDIT: in the future it might also need to hold other private data but there isnt any payment information

Sorry if this is coming across like a stern warning! I don't have a clue about your background and I'm just trying to be informative and highlight that there might be some other things you haven't considered

as i said before im a complete noob in this area so all help/warnings are appreciated

cheers,

i think i understand now

ssl would encrypt the data when its being sent back to my server, which would then decrypt it so i can use it in a php script. Id then write some code to format the data and stop SQL injection before encrypting it again and inserting it into the database?

so is their a way to have the database automatically encrypt the data or would i need to write some php to do that?

cheers
