corbin Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The short answer: Never save credit card numbers in your database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggieuk Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I agree with corbin, I have had some experience with this and would advise you to steer away from holding sensitive data on your database as this can lead to all sorts of problems. Have you thought about using an established method of payment (im assuming this is what it's for) such as paypal? This removes all the worry and risk of storing credit card numbers on your database.

techker Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 he needs to keep that info cause it is billed every month or year to the client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggieuk Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 There is still no need to store this in your database. Paypal has this subscriptions feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
