Using SSL

I am new to ecommerce and getting ready to install my SSL cert and begin testing transactions.

My first question is how do I tell the server which forms should be encrypted? My first thought is that you just call the form via "https://my-url/myform.php"

Second anyone have suggestions on a good book to learn more on how eccomerce works and how to keep things secure?

Thanks,

>> how do I tell the server which forms should be encrypted?

You don't tell the server about that, for that you ask yourself when should https://www.domain.com be used, because it's server-wide, either have SSL for the entire site or no SSL anywhere. It's based on the FQDN, not a specific URI path.
