Re: QUESTION: how to validate credit card number before sent to Versign?

I presume you are sending the details to verisign by posting the info from the <form> directly to versign. If this is the case the post to a local php script, do the validation and then use the http_post class from http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/ to send it to verisign Regards Jon -- Jon Farmer Systems Programmer, Entanet www.enta.net Tel 01952 428969 Mob 07763 620378 PGP Key available, send email with subject: Send PGP Key ----- Original Message ----- From: <sgibbs@vt.globalhealth.org> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 5:16 PM Subject: [PHP] QUESTION: how to validate credit card number before sent to Versign? > We collect credit card info. on our site and send it to Verisign for > processing.
