Something not unlike: <?php $curl = popen("/path/to/curl -a -b -c -d -e -f $creditcardnumber") or die("Unable to run curl. Check path/permissions<BR>\n"); while ($line = fgets($curl, 1000000){ echo $line, "<BR>\n"; } ?> There's probably an additional argument for popen for error messages, or maybe they just come back from the first fread(). Of course, you probably don't want to just print out the results... You may want to investigate the CyberCash module of PHP, use using some other third-party server to handle all the banking stuff... -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
