PHP, SSL, and taking online payments by credit card...

Alright, not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please don't flame me if i was wrong...
I have been doing php and mysql for some time now, and html longer than i can remember. Soon I think I will be needing to ass a credit card feature to some of the sites i have produced in the past, but as of yet, i have not been able to find a good cource of info on the web about exactly how to set up ssl with php, and how to make it take credit card numbers...

If anyone has any info on this, PLEASE reply! I really need to learn how to add this kind of functionality to my sites, and I am not sure where to go... recommended books, links, etc are what I need! Thank you in advance! 😎
 
I imagine your ssl will come in at the webserver level, not php. If you're using apache install mod_ssl and learn how to configure it. If you use it in production I think you have to get an ssl certificate from trusted authority to prove to client browsers that you're not spoofing them (if you don't get it they'll get pop up boxes asking them if they trust you or not).
