In searching for the file, I found nothing. What is the name of the file you uploaded? Also, when you say you were validating the credit card number, are you saying that you are going out to a credit card site and getting a response or are you just checking the number entered against an algorithm for that specific card? If it's not getting a response from a credit card center, it's not really what I'm looking for.

Thanks,
