credit card info through a web form

[chitchatonline]

hi... can someone help me please?

i want to receive credit card numbers through a web form for our business... we will process the transaction inhouse... but we just want to get the credit card numbers through the website...

i am looking into thawte.com for an SSL certificate... and i have read some posts on how to add the certificate to a domain... i think i can do that...

but what then???

example: i have a website http://www.domain.com
so once i add my SSL i can use the https://www.domain.com?
so everything in that site will be secured?

if i add a new form.. https://www.domain.com/form.php, all the input field in that form is secured?

can i send that information to my e-mail box...

at the end.. how do i get that info in my e-mail box??? or will i have to create a database and store it in the database???

can someone give me some suggestion on how to accuire credit card numbers through a secured site???

thanks
Evan
