The best way is to store credit card information is in a database and
access those results over a SECURE connection -- either through the Web
or using Secure Shell (SSH).  If you e-mail them to yourself unencrypted
then your secure server is USELESS.  E-mail is about as secure as
sending credit card numbers on a post card.  Encrypt your mail with PGP
or maybe even the mcrypt library and decrypt it when it comes to your 
mailbox.
