Those who manually process credit card charges may encounter a minor annoyance caused by the customer entering the number in a form that contains non-numeric characters- eg. xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx .
The current scripts accept such an entry, which is fine, but I believe the merchant is better served if the non-numeric characters are stripped before storing the number in the database. That way, he/she can drag/drop the number from VP-ASP to the virtual terminal form, which may require only numeric input.
To do so, edit shopcheckout.asp:
Find these lines near the end of the script:
Sub GetFormFields
strOcardtype = Request.Form("strOcardtype")
strOcardno = Request.Form("strOcardno")
.
add this line after the third line above
.
strOcardno=trimtodigits(strOcardno)
.
The new text will look like this:
Sub GetFormFields
strOcardtype = Request.Form("strOcardtype")
strOcardno = Request.Form("strOcardno")
strOcardno=trimtodigits(strOcardno)
.
trimtodigits is a function that is defined in shopvalidatecreditcards.asp. It removes all characters in an input string except 0-9.
.
If you are using sslshopcheckout.asp, the change is the same but trimtodigits is contained within the main script.
.
As always, comments are welcome.
