Advice

[Anon]

I have a website that will be offering online registration for hosting services.

In these pages I need to gather alot of info, and finally charge the credit card.

What is the most feasible way of implementing this???
There is less than ten hosting packages, so would setting up an MySQL DB be too much???

any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Playac,

Setting up a database is definately a good idea, since it will minimise the interaction you make with the user (if they wanted to change some details, for example).

You'll need one table for the user details and one table for the package type. It is up to you how you structure these tables, though.

Kind Regards,

David

Also, make sure you've got mod-ssl installed so you can do your cc processing over a secure pipeline. Most people (rightfully so) won't do credit cards over an unencrypted connection.
