G'day all

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction

I would like to build a webpage which will store personal information
which I need to be available to the site owner (not via the web
server).

What I am looking at, is using https to secure the connection to the
page, when the users adds their conditions the information will be
encrypted (using some sort of public key) then stored to a MySQL DB.

From here the admin will be able to log into a backend and download
the DB as a CSV and either ->
i) open it in Excel and use a VBS to decrypt (using the
private key)
ii) pass it through another form stored on a separate website
which will decrypt(using the prive key) and create a clear text
document which can be printed and stored on file.

I can not have the information stored on any "public" system in clear
text at any stage

Am I on the right path?

Can I use openssl_public_encrypt() and openssl_private_decrypt() ?

Cheers
moosus
