Hello Everyone,
	Finally time to help my parents with a website and I am looking into 
credit card processing from a website.  Anyone have experience with
this?  Is there a recommended way to accomplish it using PHP on a Linux
machine?  Oh perl is an option too.

	I have checked out authorize.net and some of their resellers.  I have 
also seen some products that don't use Authorize.net's gateway service.

	It appears that you can handle the transaction yourself using some 
special libraries or use a third party site for payment and maybe
shopping cart as well.  Am I understanding this correctly?

Any tips on this?

Austin
