Jim the long list Lee provided covers the majors... any second digit will be something under that program or some obscure card for some small chain store.. the major ones were covered in detail in Lee's message with the correct digit length...
as for the checksum (3 digits) there is nothing I seem to know about it being programatically/numerically related to the account... prove me wrong :) -----Original Message----- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 00:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Credit Card Validation Lee, Thanks. I've come across similar tables. Trouble is each of them contains one or two more prefixes than the last one. For example, I've also seen the prefix 38 listed for Diners Club. Obviously prefixes are being added, albeit slowly, as needed. If I'd relied on the first table I came across, published maybe two or three years ago (Who knows when - it was on some developer's website without a date), then I might be rejecting cards that were issued in the last couple of years. I've got the Luhn mod-10 checksum algorithm implemented in both JavaScript and CFScript. I've also come across mention of a "check digit" (rightmost digit) and another algorithm to do a checksum against this digit. Perhaps it's just an alternative way of doing the mod-10 checksum. I haven't examined it that closely. What I'm really looking for is a more authoritative source for this information.
