How best to do this?

[Flo]

I have a client that doesn't need a shopping cart per se, but will need customers to be able to fill out a form and also give their credit card numbers. I was thinking of installing agora.cgi but that's a fullout cart system which is overkill since there won't be any "items" to buy. Really all I want to do is to split the credit card number for security as agora.cgi does (emails 1/2 the number and you have to go online to retrieve the other half).

Is there an alternative method that would be simple to do?

Thanks,
Flo

That should be very easy.. basically all you need is a form which uses php tags echoing their own variable as value (in case validation fails), make the form post to itself, and validate the CC info and put in a MySQL table (encrypted in a blob-field).
I don't know of any premade scripts, I would look for functions/partial-scripts at http://php.resourceindex.com and http://cgi.resourceindex.com
..wouldn't take more than a couple of hours to put together when you have the key info needed :)

has things split into catagories from full carts to billing, to CC validation. There should be something to suit your needs there.

Thanks guys,
Found a free script on the CGI Resource site that will work perfectly.

Did you take a look at his listmerge and elists scripts? I've used them a few times - very good. :)
