redbrad0 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have been using my Credit Card swipe by having it insert a tab after each field and now have reason to build into my application to support multiple types of Credit Card Swipes. I went to the new customers location and swipe my own credit card and here is what it returned (of course I hid the important information). %Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx^LastName/FirstName^EMey1010000000578000000?{enter} The values for the above that were replaced are as follows.... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = Credit Card # LastName = Last Name on Card FirstName = First Name on Card EM = Exp Month of CC ey = Exp Year of CC My problem is that I can not figure out what some of this text is. Does anyone have any ideas? Its a Visa Bank Card and none of the numbers are my security code. %B = I am guessing this is just the start of the Credit Card Swipe 1010000000578000000?{enter} = I have no idea what any of these numbers are and guessing the ?{enter} is to terminate the swiping Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/139926-solved-reading-a-scanning-cc-cant-figure-out-what-data-its-returning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I don't know anything about this but I may be that your security number is returned hashed for, well, security reasons.

redbrad0 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Security code is 511 and I do not see any reason why they would hash the security code as anyone can grab it off the card.

Brian W Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 may I ask what info you actually need for completing this credit card transaction? Again, I have no clue what this stuff is. Anyways, by me replying and your replying, this subject stays towards the top till someone with experience reads it.
