I am in need of a secure form for credit card information to be entered by my customers, but I have no idea on where to start. Is there a program I could use, or is something else needed? Thanks in advance!

You will need to contact your webhost to see if they offer secure server access, or if they are able to add secure server to your account.

It is not simply a case of installing a script unfortunatly.

It uses a different protocal "https" and as such needs to be set up by a server admin.

Your form remains the same but depending on how/if your host makes it available, it may need to be linked with a different prefix, e.g. if your main site is www.mysite.com, then the SSL page might need to be called as secure1234.yourhost.com (which is your site's secure identity). It'll be easier than you think.
