[FX.php List] Credit Card Reader for mobile device + web publishing

[Anders Monsen]

At the risk of sounding self-serving, I wrote about this recently.

With iMag Pro and FM Go you can read credit cards (or any cards with 
magnetic stripes). You just need to be able to parse the data. You can 
then use a variety of methods to send the CC # to an API ( 360Works 
Plastic, FM Credit Card, or Auth.Net via Troi URL and XML, to name some 
examples). Using a web viewer and PHP back end you probably also have 
access to far more APIs than those three.
