Credit Card Validation
This article has not been rated yet. After reading, feel free to leave comments and rate it.
Are you in need to validate a credit card? The following routine does some basic checking and returns the type of the credit card as a number - or use the const array to get the type of credit card by name. (E.g. 'Mastercard').
This code does not check that the credit card is actually valid, that it is good for a purchase or whether it belongs to a certain person. To accept any kind of orders, you need to do an address verification, combined with checking the expiration date.
The routine is still handy as an input validator on forms. You may download it here.
