Nancy OShea Jul 18, 2013 5:12 PM (in response to KenGraphicandWeb)YIKES!
Patient information is confidential. Sorry, but e-mail is not secure. If the patient's insurance info, history, etc... falls into the wrong hands, it could be a HUGE problem for everyone.
Given your lack of experience with server-side security and the encryption protocols necessary to protect sensitive data, my advice is to run, run, run away from this project...

To accompolish what you need to do, you need to use a database and a serverside programming language. PHP and Mysql are typically used for this. Although PHP and MySQL are pretty easy to learn, they are significantly more diffuclt to learn than HTML and CSS.
You need to send the data to a database instead of to an email, and this is a great deal more involved.
I do PHP/MySQL programming for a living. Although this is a simple project, it probably isn't worth the bother and expense for your dentist client.

KenGraphicandWeb Jul 18, 2013 6:00 PM (in response to Nancy OShea)I understand where you're coming from, but if I'm here for anything, it's to learn. Is there any way you could help me in that quest?

Hi Ken,
Rob has provided you with the initial set of tasks that you will need to get started with : Learning about how to use databases and a server side programming language. Like Nancy says, it is going to be a uphill task if you don't have sufficient time on your hands.
Maybe you could start with those and then come back with more questions for us.
Thanks,
Preran

Norton215 Jul 12, 2014 7:34 AM (in response to KenGraphicandWeb)Hi,
I was having the same question on how to have a secure patient submission form. I know it is possible as other websites utilize it. If it was not too difficult to learn how to do I was wondering if it would be possible to potential use on my site {three similar posts on three completely different threads have led this moderator to remove irrelevant link}
Thank you!
