I have a website that will collect sensitive data, and I want to write that data to a mysql database on my server. I need a php script that will process the form securely.

Until recently I have used either Phorm or FormTools for processing. I can't use FormTools because the data appears in the url line. Not sure about Phorm. But before buying in an expensive outsourced service, I wanted to tap the collective wisdom of webmaster-talk.

Use a POST instead of a GET for the form

For sensitive data, you should also look into SSL (that is, https) for the form. SSL wouldn't be part of a PHP script though.

I looked online at FormTools, and at least one of their demos shows a form being submitted via post, so you should be able to do this. It's probably an option in the script somewhere.
