 1 | # Vat Validation #
 2 | 
 3 | ## About ##
 4 | Vat-Validation is a PHP class allowing you to
 5 | 
 6 | - Validate a VAT number
 7 | - Retrieve information like the name or the address of the company
 8 | 
 9 | The data is extracted from a European Commission webservice
10 | 
11 | __It actually only works for European countries__
12 | 
13 | ## Usage ##
14 | 
15 | 	require_once('vatValidation.class.php');
16 | 	$vatValidation = new vatValidation( array('debug' => false));
17 | 	$vatValidation->check($countryCode, $vatNumber));
18 | 
19 | Your instance can now access the following methods:
20 | 
21 | 	$vatValidation->isValid()
22 | 	$vatValidation->getName()
23 | 	$vatValidation->getDenomination()
24 | 	$vatValidation->getAddress() 
25 | 
26 | You'll find an example in the example.php file
27 | 
28 | ## Requirements ##
29 | 
30 | PHP with Soap enabled
31 | 
32 | ## Disclaimer ##
33 | 
34 | Take a look at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/viesdisc.do to know when/how you're allowed to use this service and his information
