ChronoForm and writing to DB under SSL

fullfusion 27 Dec, 2008
We are thinking of using ChronoForm to replace an existing process. We need the form to be under a shared SSL to be able to collect CC info. That info needs to be written to a DB under that SSL connection then send an email without the CC info items being sent in the email. The site owner then logs into the DB to pull the CC info once they receive the email notification.

Can ChronoForms do this?

Thanks for any insights.

Hi fullfusion,

The client-server ssl has been done several times - you should find a few refernces by searching the forums here. Server-database ssl is a different kettle of fish. I'm sure that it is doable but there's nothing in ChronoForms or Joomla to support it so you will need to hand-code your own database connections.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to extend the Joomla JDatabaseMySQL class. The connection code is all in the __construct function so presumably you could still use all the other methods to actually read & write to the database.
