PHP encryption question

Hello!
How hard would it be to encrypt the contents of a form, and then send it in an encrypted email to a person who has software to decrypt it? I think that the software would be PGP.
If it would be pretty simple, do you have any code?
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I've never done this, but it sure sounds interesting (especially if you're wanting to do eCommerce mailings in an encrypted fashion.
I did a bit of searching, and it looks like the only way to accomplish this is going to be with shelling out to the 'gpg' shell command using something like system().
The man page for popen() has a few comments about using popen() for this very thing, opening a couple of pipes (for reading and writing) and then calling gpg with the content of your message.
The man page (and comments) is here: [HYPERLINK@www.php.net]
Scroll down a bit and you'll see the comment about GPG (or your can Ctrl-F search the page for gpg). There are a few comments on the subject.
Have fun - this sounds like an exciting undertaking!

You could have a server based system where php encrypts the message and then stores it in a DB then the recipient gets an email with a special link with a unique access code. Now they can see the message that was sent to them, they could have the option of downloading it? or deleting it too.
Just a thought
