Here you go...

Hey, check this out real quick: http://bytemycode.com/snippets/snippet/712 I wrote this for one of my projects and maybe it can help you out.

 

You are only following the companies prescribed algorithms to designing cards.  You have no way of knowing the validness or authenticity of a given card .  This is why allowing people who have insurance for fraud and other stuff to handle it makes so much more sense because anyone can follow your algorithm and provide you with "valid CC numbers".

 

The only useful application to taking an user's numbers is if they are making a purchase through you and your online department is just an extension of your brick store so your online processing is done by hand and you manually use your cash register to handle the credit card transaction.  Only then would you have security,
