Form Results: supress data in email?

T

Thor

I have a form in which the viewer remits a membership fee using a credit
card. The client doesn't want the credit card number transmitted by email,
for security reasons.

We get only a few such submissions a year. All I really need is notification
that the form has been submitted. I can download the form data from the
website and pass it to the client in a secure mode. I'm looking for
suggestions how to do this.

I could suppress the credit card data from the email transmission -- if I
knew how, without also suppressing it from the website database.

Or, I could drop the form email altogether if there were some other way to
receive notice that a submission had been made.

Or, I could encrypt the credit card number -- again, if I knew how -- and
send it by email with all the other form data.

Or...???

Remove the credit card info from your form and site completely
- there is no safe way to do what you want and no credit card info should ever be stored on a site (in a form save file or DB)
If it happens that infrequently process the credit card payment separately thru say a separate form to Pay Pal
