I think you can accomplish what you "want to do" just in a different way. I
think that you need to view the credit card phase as the last step, and
figure out a way to chunk up multiple independent "shopping cart" invoices.
Something like, "pay now" and "add new order"
if you have a PHP class, say "class invoice," which represents a shopping
cart, and use the serialize function to create a text variable which can be
stored in a database or session. Then a user can create and edit multiple
invoices, and as a last step go to billing and enter credit information.
You should NEVER EVER store, no matter how securely or temporarily, credit
card information unless you have major liability insurance.
