Credit Card Number Database Mask

I took two other contributions and combined the ideas from both. This contribution allows you to mask the credit card number from within the order screen. It will then save the masked cc number in the database. This is for those store owners that want to minimize security risks. Keep in mind that this contribution does over write the cc number for that order. You may want to keep a hard copy of the order for your records.

Version 1.3 Automatic Credit Card Number Mask 13 Apr 2006

Automatically mask credit card numbers as they are logged into the database.
*This Contrib only requires the modification of two files.
*Installation Time: 5-10 min.
*No changes to Database configuration.
*Includes screen shots, v1.1 & v1.2
Example: xxxxxxxxx1234

If you're using a payment gateway like Authorize.net, the gateway stores credit card numbers and has all the liability.
There is no point in keeping a copy in your database...unless you like to live dangerously.
