I need to create a valid mod10 or luhn number that can be attached to
an invoice, I have found several examples showing how to validate a
credit card number or validate a number using mod10/luhn.
Example:
invoice number = 700123
invoice check number 700123(checknumber)
that check number should make the entire invoice number able to
validate using mod10/luhn
Google is your friend.
I cobbled this together from several sources; will it help?
Validate it thoroughly before relying on it!
<?php
$inv = "700123";
echo $inv . checkdigit($inv);
function checkdigit($num) {
/*
* 1. Reverse the number
* 2. Multiply all the digits in odd positions (The first digit, the third
digit, etc) by 2.
* 3. If any one is greater than 9 subtract 9 from it.
* 4. Sum those numbers up
* 5. Add the even numbered digits (the second, fourth, etc) to the number
you got in the previous step
* 6. The check digit is the amount you need to add to that number to make
a multiple of 10.
* So if you got 68 in the previous step the check digit would be 2.
* You can calculate the digit in code using checkdigit = ((sum / 10 +
1) * 10 - sum) % 10
