RE: [PHP] Credit card checks?

This may help with the specific formats. (And how to calculate the check digit yourself to verify) http://www.beachnet.com/~hstiles/cardtype.html Jaime Bozza -----Original Message----- From: Kristopher Yates [mailto:kris@2binteractive.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 1:42 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Credit card checks? You should contact Visa International Service Association to determine what constitues a "valid" credit card number. Just FYI, a valid format is 16 digits; aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd. I believe VISA normally begins with "41" as the first two digits, however, I am not a Visa Int. agent but I am a client. Ultimately, you would need a merchant account to verify its validity, AFTER you have verified its format for accuracy.
