Hello,
Is it okay to save credit card data in the database. I know it will be password protected but still, it will be a disaster if someone ever hacks in. How do real world companies(mine is school project) save their customer's credit card information? Thank you in advance.

Jump to Postyou can store the data in the db but you definatly need to encrypt. i would suggest not even storing it personally. But that is just me.
Jump to Postdefenetly you have to secure the data while you accessing the database through queries
better you make ssl on while you accessing the database, and also just use a random textfield as a hidden value in the post and you check it for authorization whether it is coming from …
Jump to Posti will agree with that. more secure the better if its being stored. didnt really think having a SSL setup was needed since it is a class project but if its live it is a must have.
Jump to Postthen what you are really expecting
more than this
