Iban Validator¶
Zend\Validator\Iban
validates if a given value could be a IBAN number. IBAN is the abbreviation for
“International Bank Account Number”.
Supported options for Zend\Validator\Iban¶
The following options are supported for Zend\Validator\Iban
:
- country_code: Sets the country code which is used to get the IBAN format for validation.
IBAN validation¶
IBAN numbers are always related to a country. This means that different countries use different formats for their
IBAN numbers. This is the reason why IBAN numbers always need a country code. By knowing this we already know how to
use Zend\Validator\Iban
.
Ungreedy IBAN validation¶
Sometime it is useful, just to validate if the given value is a IBAN number or not. This means that you don’t
want to validate it against a defined country. This can be done by using a FALSE
as locale.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | $validator = new Zend\Validator\Iban(array('country_code' => false));
// Note: you can also set a FALSE as single parameter
if ($validator->isValid('AT611904300234573201')) {
// IBAN appears to be valid
} else {
// IBAN is not valid
}
|
So any IBAN number will be valid. Note that this should not be done when you accept only accounts from a single country.
Region aware IBAN validation¶
To validate against a defined country, you just need to give the wished country code. You can do this by the option
country_code
and also afterwards by using setCountryCode()
.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $validator = new Zend\Validator\Iban(array('country_code' => 'AT'));
if ($validator->isValid('AT611904300234573201')) {
// IBAN appears to be valid
} else {
// IBAN is not valid
}
