Web advice

I want to setup a PHPNuke website in the future when I'll have my own server and such...

But is there a Module for PHPNuke where people can safely order products from this website? Or make it so they must type in their credit card information to pay for a product they want to download?

Should I even use PHPNuke? I have the feeling it may not be secure enough with credit card numbers flying around.

I know, there are PHP credit card scripts out there but if they are available to you they are also available to the hackers out there, probably best to create your own solution

Personally, I would avoid using PHP-Nuke or any of the many forked scripts on any website. In my experience, the code is just too bloated and unstable. If you do not have the technical knowledge to write your own script or money to pay someone who does, my advice would be to compare the alternatives listed at OpenSourceCMS (they have many demos available).

Bear in mind that the script and hosting will need to support the HTTPS secure server protocol.

Alternatively, you could use a third party service to handle payments.
