Multi page Job application

My boss wants me to make a job application page which will require a lot of fields

I’m thinking I will follow the multi page form tutorial to build the pages.

I 'm looking for suggestions on how to best store and send the data since there is plenty of personal information stored in these forms. We have in the past made a fillable pdf and have them email it but that is often problematic due to various issues on the applicants side.

Looking for suggestions

I guess it depends how secure it all needs to be.

I would store it in a MySQL database, make sure SSL is used throughout, and either email them a link which has some kind of key in it (?id=1&key=12345678abcdefgh) or go one step further and create a logged in area where they can view the details. Remember that email isn’t secure but the chances of it being intercepted is tiny.

Thanks for the advice. We have the database access available and the login is definitely an option. I had the same thoughts about e-mail.
