I have my soft cart configured to display the credit card for customers for some wierd reasons
so we started to have complains about that
so we want to display the first 4 digits and the last 4 digits of the credit card number ...
the problem is , i only know "truncate", but this doesn't satisfy the job

here is how the process goes,
we fetch the credit card number corresponding to the user login name
we decrypt the credit card number in .php page
we have the code to display the credit card number in the .tpl template
so we need to display 1111222233334444
as 1111....4444

aslo should i decrypt the first 4 and the last 4 digits only, or there is no such a thing???

please remember i am a really newbie here,
so i need more clarification

thanks

hi e1front:

My suggestion is to consider not sending the complete CC # to the template at all. Instead chop it up in PHP before you assign it to the template.

Either of the following which (should) do a 1234abcde5678 => 1234#####5678 type conversion-- but I didn't test them.

[php:1:d921103be0]<?php
$cc = substr($cc, 0, 4) . str_repeat('#', strlen($cc)- . substr(strrev($cc), 0, 4);

// or using a regular expression...
$cc = preg_replace('!\d{4,4}(.)*\d{4,4}!u', '#', $cc);
?>[/php:1:d921103be0]
