Shopping cart requirements
 

Hi folks,

I have been asked to do a website that requires a shopping cart and online payment facilities.

I have decided to use php and a mysql database for this job.

Could any of you guys give me any advice or links to sites that could explain some security measures for safe credit card transactions that i need to take into consideration.

Thanks.

Craig.

I guess the key word here would be encryption. Atleast for the payment facilities part. :D

I believe alot of payment processing software uses the RC4 algorithm http://www.ncat.edu/~grogans/main.htm . If you plan on adding merchant gateway support to it you may want to contact the merchant providers and see what their requirements are and what they recommend. If I come across any good sites that have info on what you're looking for I'll post them here. :)

I came across this while surfing http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-staub.php it might be of some interest to you. :)

Don't re-invent the wheel!! Take a look at http://oscommerce.com
