\s-1ALGORITHM\s0

1.

Beginning left all numbers are weighted with 1,3,1,7,3,9 and 1 (checkdigit)

2.

The sum of all products is computed.

3.

The check digit is the difference of the sum from step 3 to the next multiple of 10.

\s-1METHODS\s0

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 and spaces.

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.

\s-1EXPORT\s0

None by default.
