How do I send a secure email with php?

secure send
Dustin C asked:

I have a form protected with SSL in an https directory so I know the client to server communication is secure, but then the server uses php to send the information to an email address – how do I make sure that part is secure?
I know there are ways of doing this S/MIME, PGP – looking for suggestions from someone who has set this up in the past.

    there is no direct way of making sure that the email sent through to some one is secure… you can make sure that your email is sent from a secure channel by ssl only which you have already done! apart from that its the pop or smtp that will work from there on to keep the message secure… which happens in most cases these days! try the following website! Good Luck!

    Like the above poster said, there is no way to secure emails.

    Why does this information need to be emailed? Is it possible to instead save it in a database and send out an email to a secure site for the information?
