The Validator verifies card numbers based on the Mod 10 Algorithm.
Kudos to Aries Solis (asolis@hoovers.com) who originally found the
needed data URL for all the cards and to Melvyn Myers
(homebuilder@peg.apc.org) for posting the original I hacked into a
totally different animal. As for the unknown original poster of the
parent version ... eternal gratitude.
The cc_form.html document is essentially the HTML form front-end for
this script. Please feel free to copy/paste/edit to suit your needs.
The cc_ver.pl script is platform neutral and should run without
modification on Unix and NT servers alike under either Perl 4.036 or
5.001m. Executable file location modifications may be needed, just
like any other script.
Please feel free to copy out the needed sections and impliment the
validation part into your own scripts, all I ask is that proper credit
be retained and noted in your script.
This has been fully debugged and has validated 50 different cards properly.
It has ruthlessly weeded out fabricated Card Numbers. Basically.. it works
just fine. If you have any problems, then it resides in how your system is
configured and how you've modified the script. (read that as "Not My
Problem")
