I dont think you read the original post correctly. Obviously you would use
SSL to get the info form the browser to server. What the poster was asking
was how does he securely get the information from the server to the people
using the PDQ machine.

This would work but I don't think that this was the idea.
You could send encrypted email from to server to another place with this
method
but you can't encrypt the date transmitted with an html form. (since php
runs
on the server and not on the client machine)
To secure the communication between the web-server and the client's browser
you
can't use php. You'll either need SSL for your server or you use a java to
encrypte the data on the client side and then send it to the server.
