Bad idea.
Some software, in particular that from merchant-provider Cardservice
International, will deny all transactions for a set number of days if you
have two declines from the same IP in the same 24-hour period.
I have C code that can be translated to PHP that does the Mod-10 check,
which is what you want. Those of you who need it should e-mail me.
