Validate a canadian postcode

The postal code is a six-character, uniformly structured alphanumeric code in the form of ANA NAN where "A" represents an alphabetic character and "N" represents a numeric character.

The postal code is made up of two segments:

The first, the Forward Sortation Area (FSA), is a combination of three characters (alpha - numeric - alpha).

It identifies a major geographic area in an urban or a rural location.

The third character of the FSA segment (M4B), in conjunction with the first two characters, describes an exact area of a city or town or other geographic area.

The second segment, Local Delivery Unit (LDU), is a combination of three characters (numeric - alpha - numeric).

It identifies the smallest delivery unit within a forward sortation area.

The LDU, identified by the last three characters of the postal code, allows for a final sort within an FSA.

In Urban Areas, the last three digits may indicate a specific city block (one side of a street between two intersecting streets), a single building or, in some cases, a large volume mail receiver.

In Rural Areas, the last three digits (LDU), together with the FSA, identify a specific Rural community.

First parameter of the method is the post code to validate.

An optional parameter for limite the request to a province.

sample

<?php

// Include the package
require_once('Validate/CA.php');

$badPostCode = '48103';
$result = Validate_CA::postalCode($badPostCode);
echo 'Test ' . $badPostCode .' : <br />';
var_export($result);

echo '<br /><br />';
$goodPostCode = 'H2M 2J1';
$result = Validate_CA::postalCode($goodPostCode);
echo 'Test ' . $goodPostCode .' : <br />';
var_export($result);
?>

Output :

Test 48103 :
false

Test H2M 2J1 :
true
     

sample using province parameter

H2M 2J1 like a good post code, but province don't exit.
<?php

// Include the package
require_once('Validate/CA.php');

$postalCode = 'H2M 2J1'; // in Montreal area

$result = Validate_CA::postalCode($postalCode);
echo 'Test ' . $postalCode .' : <br />';
var_export($result);

echo '<br /><br />';
$result = Validate_CA::postalCode($postalCode,'QC');
// QC for Montreal
echo 'Test ' . $postalCode .' in QC: <br />';
var_export($result);

echo '<br /><br />';
$result = Validate_CA::postalCode($postalCode,'AB');
// AB for Toronto
echo 'Test ' . $postalCode .' in AB: <br />';
var_export($result);

?>

Output :

Test H2M 2J1 :
true

Test H2M 2J1 in QC:
true

Test H2M 2J1 in AB:
false
     

Validate a phonenumber

Canada and the United States share the same numbering plan, hence you can also call Validate_US::phoneNumber()

Can allow only seven digit numbers.

Also allows the formats, (xxx) xxx-xxxx, xxx xxx-xxxx, and now x (xxx) xxx-xxxx or various combination without spaces or dashes.

sample

<?php
// Include the package
require_once('Validate/CA.php');

$phoneNumber = '467875098x';
$result = Validate_CA::phoneNumber($phoneNumber);
echo 'Test ' . $phoneNumber .' : <br />';
var_export($result);
echo '<br />';

$phoneNumber = '4678750987';
$result = Validate_CA::phoneNumber($phoneNumber);
echo 'Test ' . $phoneNumber .' : <br />';
var_export($result);

?>

Output :

Test 467875098x :
false
Test 4678750987 :
