Re: loose variables when url parsed through Netscape

You're not sending CC numbers in the url as plain text are you? That's a REALLY BAD idea. You should store the information in your database before you go to processing the CC (name, address, etc.) and don't store CC numbers, the liability is much more than you're being paid. If you store it ahead of time all you need to pass in the url from the processing company is an id# to look up the info in your database.
