Search archives, as a tip I'd suggest to encrypt the Credit Card numbers with RC4 or some other algorithm.Maxim, I don´t agree your suggestion, as I mentioned earlier on the list, avoid storing CC numbers unless it´s absolutely necessary, you´ve got a good insurance, and are your own ISP knowing a lot of network security. Your suggestions may make php-coder think that it is possible to store these data secure. But that´s not only depending on php. If you store any data in an ISP-environment, you cannot be shure that this is secure, as you don´t know how they set up their servers, firewalls ... I wouldn´t give this suggestion without any word on this. Oliver
