Maybe you could use PGP to encrypt the CCs and then when your client collects the orders and moves them off the web server then can use thier private key to decrypt. THe important thing here is that you *never* let the private (decryption) key near the web server. Alternatively, your client could just collect orders and then invoice thier customers if that's possible. > These are small time customers.

Isn't that what open source is all about? :) $$$$$ of credit card fraud, not to mention possible legal action doesn't strike me as being a "little to no cost solution". -- Simon Edwards Animated Design, Melbourne http://www.animated.net.au/ Ph: (03) 98850990
