DESCRIPTION
ALGORITHM
- 1.
- Letters are replaced with their position in the alphabet ('A' = 1, ...).
- 2.
- The total of the digits of all numbers is computed.
- 3.
- This sum is taken modulo 9.
- 4.
- The check digit is the difference between 8 and the number of step 3.
To validate the last digit of the total of the digits of all numbers inclusive check digit must be 8.
METHODS
- is_valid($number)
-
Returns true only if $number consists solely of numbers and the last digit
is a valid check digit according to the algorithm given above.
Returns false otherwise,
- complete($number)
-
The check digit for $number is computed and concatenated to the end
of $number.
Returns the complete number with check digit or '' if $number does not consist solely of digits.
- basenumber($number)
-
Returns the basenumber of $number if $number has a valid check
digit.
Return '' otherwise.
- checkdigit($number)
-
Returns the checkdigit of $number if $number has a valid check
digit.
Return '' otherwise.
