NAME¶

CheckDigits::M11_003 - compute check digits for PKZ (GDR)

SYNOPSIS¶

  use Algorithm::CheckDigits;
  $pkz = CheckDigits('pkz');
  if ($pkz->is_valid('150765400354')) {
        # do something
  }
  $cn = $pkz->complete('15076540035');
  # $cn = '150765400354'
  $cd = $pkz->checkdigit('150765400354');
  # $cd = '4'
  $bn = $pkz->basenumber('150765400354');
  # $bn = '150765400354'

DESCRIPTION¶

ALGORITHM¶

1.

The checkdigit is set to 0.

2.

From right to left the digits are weighted (multiplied) with 2,4,8,5,10,9,7,3,6,1,2,4.

3.

The products are added.

4.

The sum of step 3 is taken modulo 11.

5.

The value of step 4 is added to a multiple (0..9) of the weight of the checkdigit (2).

6.

The sum of step 5 is taken modulo 11.

7.

The checkdigit is the multiple of the weight of the checkdigit where the value of step 6 equals 10.

8.

If there can't be reached a value of 10 in step 6, the number cannot be taken as a PKZ.

To validate a PKZ apply steps 2 to 4 to the complete number.

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 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.

EXPORT¶

None by default.
