Does anyone know a way to work with cookies, sessions, and
form variables in a SSL session?

I have a multiple page form that inserts a record into a database
on the first page. All other pages update the record as the information
is entered. The last page requires a CC# entry and needs to be secure.
The secure page is not the same domain name as the main site.
How can I set the recordset on the secure page to update the correct
record. Using cookies, sessions, or form variables is acceptable,
which is most secure?

Cookies won't work because cookies can only be read by the domain that set them.

Sessions will probably not work if it's not the same virtual server - which if it's another domain, it probably is a different virtual server if not a totally different physical server.

So that leaves you with passing some sort of ID through the form or querystring. You'll have to query the database for that ID to get the information specific to that order/customer/etc.
