README
A small PHP library for validating VAT identification numbers (VATINs).
Installation
This library is available on Packagist:
$ composer require ddeboer/vatin
If you want to use this library in a Symfony application, you can use the VatinBundle instead.
Usage
Validate a VAT number’s format:
use Ddeboer\Vatin\Validator; $validator = new Validator; $bool = $validator->isValid('NL123456789B01');
Additionally check whether the VAT number is in use, with a call to the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) SOAP web service:
use Ddeboer\Vatin\Validator; $validator = new Validator; $bool = $validator->isValid('NL123456789B01', true);
