Hi,

This is a small php online check if the VAT number of a company 
in the EU is correct.

It checks if a VAT number has the right syntax and then goes to the 
European Commission and performs an online check of the number 
and returns the result.

I have found the classes in the web and corrected the url's and
added missing countries and changed wrong regular expressions.

The existing data is from Mai 2009. So if you use 
this class later on please check if they are still correct.

you find the latest information here:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do

and the online check here:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do

I don't provide any support or waranty. Use this at your own risk.

Hope someone will find it useful,
Michael
