PHP - Moved: Storing Credit Card Info

I need to display Credit card number with only last 4 digits visible.The remaining numbers should display as **
eg: If the credit card number is 2222 1111 3333 4444
its should display as **** **** **** 4444 in a textbox
Can anybody provide me a solution

Not sure if this is in the right forum (if not can a mod move it please)....

Im creating a site that is based on a subscription basis. Therefore i need to allow the user to input their card details for me to store to allow payments every month (and also for them to update when needed).

How do you recommend storing card details in the database, im guessing its not secure just to store them as plain text?

Opinions needed

Hi guys, hoping for some help here.

I've a database created with a website. I recently got help here off Muddy Funster who was a MASSIVE help to me on this thread - http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357580.new;topicseen#new

I've another slight problem with what I am trying to do. At the moment the user can search for an ID and it brings up the relevant information.

What I am doing now is that the user has entered the ID, their taken to the results where they can be viewed. What I have added is a form at the bottom of the results page, which has to be filled in and saved. I thought this would be relatively easy. I have the form storing in the database, but there is one problem, its being added as another document! So instead of clicking save and the information being added to the ID that is already associated with it, it is incrementing the ID in the database and being stored separately to the ID that was searched.

Could anyone give any help as to why this might be happening? I have on the button 'Save' click, it goes to another php file and inserts the data to the relevant fields, I'm not sure why it is incrementing the ID separately instead of just saving to the ID that it is associated with 

I don't no if I'm making it clear enough but what I wanted to do was save the form they filled out with the ID that was searched if you get me?

Thanks for any help

Okay, I'll make this short and sweet, and all side comments are irrelevant.  I'm doing this for my own happies


So using Facebook.com's API you can extract all of a specific user's friends in an array.  Well I'm making a array check to see who on that users friend list was removed or deleted them that week using array_dif(); in this method:

1) User allows the application
2) Application catches the user's friends_id's in an array and stores them // this is where i'm having trouble, i'll come back to it
3) User then waits a few days and notices their friend count is no longer 400, it's now 399!
4) User logs into my application, and checks the previously uploaded array against their current array of friends.

Okay now to the part i'm struggling with is, what would you do?  Should i store them each uniquely in a database? Because some users have 4,000+ friends and that gets quite strenuous.  OR! Should i save them into a txt file unique to that person's user_id.

I kind of like the 2nd option, however it's less ( to my newbish mind ) customizable versus the sql_queries. 

Once again, i'd like to reiterate, i don't care that this is again Facebooks terms of service, it's for my own personal gain and just enjoy taking on projects in my spare time that force my brain to work hard.

That's all, hope you excuse the typos and poor grammar.  Typed this pretty quickly, any questions - feel free to ask!

Hey, i have made a silly little tester game just to see if i could, its he http://www.zephni.com/test/pairs its for some guy who is attending college and he was given the assignment to make a game of pairs using PHP to sort the cards and lay them down, and javascript to handle the actual game.

Anyway at the moment, my game sorts out the cards as if they are values from 1 to 52, and picks randomly 18 cards from them. During the game, the cards have to be excatly the same, as in:

if(card_picked1 == card_picked2){
      win pair
}

that means that both cards would have to be the same number AND suit. But in pairs you have to pick the same number but obviously in a different suit. Any way I have been trying some diff code to pick 18 cards from the pack. It picks 9, and then doubles them up but +'s 13 to the card so it is the same number card.

Here is the code

Code: [Select]
<?php

$i = 1;
$total_cards = 18;

#Sorting out cards
$card_sort = range(1,52);

while($i <= ($total_cards/2)){
$pick_card = $card_sort[rand(1,52)];

if($pick_card !== null){
$cards[] = $pick_card;
}
unset($card_sort[$pick_card]);

$i = $i+1;
}

foreach($cards as $card){
echo($card."<br/>");
}

?>

I would of thought that when you unset the number from $card_sort that was picked it would'nt choose it again if($pick_card !== null) but it still chooses the same card twice sometimes. I know I really havent explained this well, but i did my best for 9am...

I'm looking to open a custom giftcard shop in which I'll be selling giftcards at 75%-95% of the face value. (I usually buy them off ebay cheap and resell them).

I've already got the login system complete by using one I found online. What I'm looking to do now is make the shop section now where I can import a text document with the giftcard #, and Pin number to have them all show up in a list (but have only the first 6 numbers show up and the rest stared out with "***" until purchased, with the option to add each individual one to the cart (checkboxes beside each one).

But I want them to be able to buy them with "credits". Credits being a site currency I'd like to be created. I want users to be able to buy these "credits" with the LibertyReserve API. These credits are to be attached to their login until used up. 1 credit = 1$ LR

I notice Libertyreserve has a sample shop script: http://www.libertyreserve.com/en/home/downloads , but it doesnt exactly have the credit features and cart features I stated above, however I'm sure can be somewhat useful in coding what I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I have no idea where to start. I'm sure this is basic to some, and well I'm looking to hire someone if they are confident they can complete this quick, otherwise any free feedback would help so much.

Here is the site so far... http://www.eliteids.com/lrstore

i want to make virtual money (credits, tokens) whatever you want to call it but make no mistake this is not for profit at this point but i like the concept of visitors having something to do with other members of site for example to kill bordom and create a reason to play games, compete in competetions, it will have to conversion to real money at this point but i wish to do this script using php and mysql and have very basic coding skills in these areas anyone please help me make this script...


reply and let me know if you like this idea


please help me as this is achievable as fb has it and more sites are moving toward these same ideas, even tho fb is real money it is more to do with fun at this point until we do this stage another stage canot proceed it.
