[coded-0]

Ello all,

Have an up and coming project for a website that will need some sort of banking system. More along the lines of wire transfers and sending money to various accounts from user to user, or user to any outside account. (think western union) I saw a very sparse handful of scripts and I am wondering if it is possible to code such a system in PHP.

I know there isnt any issue with a user system, but the wire transfer system has me boggled. If im not mistaken banks use unique api's that allow for transfers and whatnot, is there a way to make this work using PHP+Mysql, or do i need another coding language all together??

If it is possible can anyone please point me in the right direction.

Sorry to be long winded and thanks in advanced.

First, find out the security requirements. Transferring funds is regulated.

You should be able to do it with PHP/MySQL, but there are probably some existing systems available that would be more cost effective to use.

You might want to start by looking at WesternUnion. Find their competitors and read the information on the site about transfering money.

I recommend spending a significant amount of time researching this issue before writing any code.
