To make the form secure in regards to internet transmission, you
need to install OpenSSL (or other SSL implementation) and buy an SSL
Certificate from a reputable CA (e.g., Verisign/Thawte...)

Well, okay, technically, you can generate a free one for yourself, and
it's just as secure in the transmission, but the browser pops up a
nasty warning to the users that they are doing something insecure
(i.e., trusting you even though you haven't paid the $200 for a
background check to get a Cert) and you almost for sure don't want
that.

The algorithm to check the validity of a CC number can be found in
Google so easily, I refuse to even answer that one. :-)

credit card number validity checksum algorithm ought to get you the
results you want.

Hi,

I need a secure form. I have one here 
http://www.edinburghnights.co.uk/pay/php/curl_https.html but it has no 
algorithm check on the CC number. Also I need to make the form secure. Can 
someone point me to an example or tutorial.


Many thanks,

   Ross,

   If you're processing through PayPal Website Payments Pro, why do
you need algorithms for credit card checking?  PayPal only charges the
fees on successful transactions, so you wouldn't pay anything if the
numbers were incorrect.

   Also, for specific help with the PayPal API, just go directly to
http://www.paypaldev.com/.  It's a forum that is run by a third-party,
but the actual people from PayPal's technical departments frequently
post in there to assist.
