Even if you encrypt the emails or your db fields you'll still need SSL to 
collect the form info.

If you have a POS, check with your bank - you might already have a merchant 
account that accepts internet charges. Then hook up with Verisign Payflow 
Pro or other credit card gateway service that is compatible with your 
current merchant account.

We hook up "little" eStores using PayFlow Pro every couple of months. They 
are not very expensive, easy to setup and a lot cleaner and safer than 
tossing cc numbers via a Databsae or email.
