Luhn¶

New in version 2.2: The Luhn constraint was introduced in Symfony 2.2.

This constraint is used to ensure that a credit card number passes the Luhn algorithm. It is useful as a first step to validating a credit card: before communicating with a payment gateway.

Applies to	property or method
Options	message
Class	`Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Luhn`
Validator	`Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\LuhnValidator`

Basic Usage¶

To use the Luhn validator, simply apply it to a property on an object that will contain a credit card number.

YAML

# src/Acme/SubscriptionBundle/Resources/config/validation.yml
Acme\SubscriptionBundle\Entity\Transaction:
    properties:
        cardNumber:
            - Luhn:
                message: Please check your credit card number.

Annotations

// src/Acme/SubscriptionBundle/Entity/Transaction.php
namespace Acme\SubscriptionBundle\Entity;

use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class Transaction
{
    /**
     * @Assert\Luhn(message = "Please check your credit card number.")
     */
    protected $cardNumber;
}
