A library to validate TIN numbers for individuals. This is based on a Java library, this is why the code does not reflect best practices in PHP (yet).

- PHP >= 8.1
To simply check the validity of a TIN number:
<?php
include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use loophp\Tin\TIN;
$bool = TIN::fromSlug('be71102512345')->isValid();
If you want to get the reason why a number is invalid, you can use
<?php
include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use loophp\Tin\TIN;
use loophp\Tin\Exception\TINException;
try {
TIN::fromSlug('be71102512345')->check();
} catch (TINException $e) {
// do something with the exception.
}
If you want to use a stricter method (without normalizing the TIN number, that
is, using the raw TIN number), use the strict
parameter in the check
or
isValid
functions as shown below (Introduced in
#39). By default, it is set to false
.
TIN::fromSlug('be7110.2512345')->check(); // Not strict
TIN::fromSlug('be7110.2512345')->check(strict: false); // Not strict
TIN::fromSlug('be7110.2512345')->check(true); // Strict
TIN::fromSlug('be7110.2512345')->check(strict: true); // Strict
composer require loophp/tin
Every time changes are introduced into the library, Github run the tests and the benchmarks.
The library has tests written with PHPSpec. Feel free
to check them out in the spec
directory. Run composer phpspec
to trigger the
tests.
Before each commit some inspections are executed with
GrumPHP, run ./vendor/bin/grumphp run
to
check manually.
PHPInfection is used to ensure that
your code is properly tested, run composer infection
to test your code.
