I think almost everybody has one of those credit cards that you can “load” with money only when you need them and then leave them empty. Well, I have one and it’s really hard for me to keep up with the money that I have inside that card, I use it quite often and usually I never put the exact amount of money that I need for that transaction that I’m going to do.

That card has an horrible online service and it’s impossible for me to know how much I have on that card, the only way would be to go to the first ATM and check, but since I’m lazy, I decided to write a small web page that will keep track of every movement that I do with that card.

Meet PostePayDIY, (yes, postepay is the name of the card that I own)

It’s just a simple web page in php that makes use of a mysql database, you can run it safely in every web server, it has no safety implication since it doesn’t store the full card number, nor it’s expire date, and of course it doesn’t store the CVV..

I’m developing it on github, so here’s the link: https://github.com/danixland/ppay_diy feel free to look at it and try it, and if you find something that’s awfully coded, change it, I’m open to suggestions and so on..

I’m doing this just for fun and in a moment of deep boredom, so I’m sure there’s a lot that can be improved..

have fun!
