Re: "id number" verification and interpretation

Hi Hans-Peter, reading your email I thought it would be really great to add this to the Validate-package somehow, if Pierre agrees. E.g. in the Validate_Finance you find that there are also many more things you can do with an IBAN than just verify it. However we also provide functions to simply validate a given IBAN (since this is used in most cases) and just return true / false. Maybe you could have a look at the current implementation in the package and propose an extension for the Swiss part of Validate (Validate_CH)? As soon as you're done it would be great if you could put a .phps-file on your webserver and email me + Pierre again - private and/or via the mailinglist. Regards, Stefan PS: Thank you for your work so far ...
