Once you create a customer you can charge their default card with:

\Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => $amount_cents,
  "currency" => "usd",
  "customer" => $customer
));

If the customer has more than one card and you want to charge a card that isn't the default card, you have to pass in the customer and card id (when the card has already been saved to the customer):

\Stripe\Charge::create(array(
  "amount" => $amount_cents,
  "currency" => "usd",
  "customer" => $customer,
  "source" => $card_id
));

You can read more about this in Stripe's API docs:

Line 1, you are creating a new customer every time.

You should store the identifier of the customer and source and bind it onto your local customer account. Next time you can pass those two into Charge.
