EAN 13

Aug 2nd, 2008

I started PHP last month.So I am new.

Is it possible to find the EAN 13 with PHP ?

Here is how to calculate the EAN-13

•

1. From the right to left, start with odd position, assign the odd/even position to each digit.
2. Sum all digits in odd position and multiply the result by 3.
3. Sum all digits in even position.
4. Sum the results of step 3 and step 4.
5. divide the result of step 4 by 10. The check digit is the number which adds the remainder to 10.

Thanks in advance.

If there is a formula with PHP like you've described, then you can use PHP to do it.
Maybe this link will help? Is EAN and EAN 13 the same thing?

Do you just need help running that formula or is there more you're trying to accomplish here?
