If your webserver is SSL enabled you could just make the data available only via login on SSL. It's relatively easy to setup the clients to login automatically. PHP supports encryption if you install the necessary libraries and configure PHP accordingly (manual > Mcrypt Encryption Functions). However the client has to be configured similarly so that it can decode the stuff. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* GOOD-NIGHT, everybody ...
