form to access db via unix machine (and windows?)

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 14.2004

I have a form that must sit on a unix server for security reasons. I have a windows server I can use as well but not as secure. As an end result I want the values from the form to be put into an access database and emailed. I know php and asp.
Does anyone have any idea how I can possibly post the fields to a php form that maybe can redirect to an asp script on a windows server and still keep the security? One important thing to keep in mind is one of the fields can be very long. (pages in length). I don’t want the user to be able to track or know about the windows server?

Please advise?
