Even if that works well or whatever, using the same way for a (maybe) widely used CC syntax validation is not that good, imo. CC is basically the luhn algo. This algo is used by many systems. That's why I like to have it in Validate and not in a sub class. Again I'm talking _only_ about the syntax validation of a CC and not about types, cvv2, dates, or other upcomings things (like rpc methods). By the way, I do not see a maintainance problem here. > About CC-validation let's wait for Joe's replies. About his plan, sure :). CC syntax is already in Validate (and will certainly still be there in future release). I will fire the release tonight. pierre
