** Brett Error (brett@interwebdesign.com)
** mcmer (webmaster@artconcept.at)
**
** Major differences include:
** Cleaner, easier-to-read validation algorithm.
** Returns an error message.
** Returns the type of card based on the number provided.
**
** This function returns an associative array that will contain the associative keys
** valid: a true or false result indicating if the card is valid or not
** type : a string containing the type of the credit card
** : may return 'American Express','Mastercard','Visa' OR 'unknown'
** The array may also contain a key named error.
** error: a string containing an error message indicating the reason why the card number was invalid.
**
** This function only validates Amex, Mastercard and Visa numbers.
**
** The method of validation is based on the Luhn check
** (see http://www.beachnet.com/~hstiles/cardtype.html)
