If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Informations about the package vies-vat-service

VIES VAT Service

Wrapper for the VIES VAT service, to fetch the data as JSON.

Fetching data

Sending a request

Simply call the endpoint with the vatid parameter:

The request always returns JSON, with the status key. This specifies if the request itself was successful, not whether the VAT ID is valid.

Successful request

A successful request returns detailed data on the results. The relevant part is stored under data > result.

NOTE: The requester information is what has been specified in the service configuration, in the config.php.

From experience, the company name and address in the result set are missing more often than not, so it's better not to rely on it. The same goes for the requester match.

Failed request

A request can fail for example if the VIES VAT service is down. The error message details the reason why.

Parsing VAT ID strings

The static VatID::parse() method accepts formatted and unformatted VAT ID strings. It automatically strips most commonly used separator characters and whitespace.

The following examples all return a valid VatID instance:

Running the testsuite

To run the tests, first rename the tests/config.dist.php to tests/config.php, and fill out the necessary information to enable live tests against the VIES service.

Tests can be launched on Windows using run-tests.bat. On linux, run the following command:
