PHP Fellows:
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
I'm new to PHP and to e-commerce. Needless to say, I've done a lot of
studying over the last few weeks and I'm ready to dive in head first!
I'll be building an e-commerce site and I'll be using PHP. I'd like
customers to have the option of saving their information so that they don't
have to enter it each time they purchase -- much like Buy.com does or like
Amazon.com's One-Click feature.
This means that the customer will be storing information like one or more
credit cards, shipping addresses, billing addresses, etc.
I'm planing on storing all information in flat files so that I don't have
the additional expense of using MySQL (My ISP is charging 24.95/month extra
for MySQL service).
So the question is: How can I store each customer's information safely? Can
I use .htaccess and .htpasswd to help me out? Or don't they even apply?
My intention is to store the user's password encoded with md5 or something
and also to develop my own cipher for disguising the credit card numbers as
well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Christopher Raymond
