Comments? Yeah, that's what I also thought about. My intention was to do it similar like with IBAN: In Validate itself (e.g. via multiple() ) you can quickly validate a CC. Also there is the same quick-validatation possible via Validate/Finance.php. And as far as I understood your mail now (haven't had a look at the source of the creditcard-class yet!) there would be a Validate/Finance/Creditcard.php which would be used if an app wants to verify a CC with all details (e.g. for output "no, -this or that- part is not valid" etc. So Pierre, did I get you correctly now? And finally: Who's gonna do it? I'm currently a bit too work-loaded before christmas and intend to put the remaining time on work for Image_Graph. So if Pierre could integrate CC-validation into Finance that would be really nice. (Pierre, I know I proposed to take the Finance-part ... but I can't find time to work on the CC-things befroe 2004 otherwise.) Regards, Stefan
