EU VAT ID check (class VmEUVatCheck)

[mistcaller]

According to http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do#item16 as of 5th of March, 2010 the endpoint of the SOAP service has changed.

so the new var-url in classes/euvatcheck.class.php should read

Code: [Select]

var $viesurl = 'http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/services/checkVatService.wsdl';

not only the link is changed. Also function startelement needs to be changed.
case "URN:VALID" instead of "VALID"

   function startElement($parser, $element_name, $attributes) {
      switch($element_name) {
         case "URN:VALID" : $this->output = true;

Thank you for your suggestions: this fix will be included in VM 1.1.6.

ah okey thank you, I will do it for vm1.5

I applied the suggested fix in the Euvatcheck-class (new url + URN:VALID), but it doesn't work. The site freezes at line 78:

/* Call the VIES to check the VAT ID */
$this->client->call('checkVat', $param);

Do you have any suggestions?

I just uploaded a BETA 4 package for VirtueMart 1.1.6 which should include the fix for this issue.
It's available at http://dev.virtuemart.net/redmine/issues/178
Does anyone care to make a test and then let me know? Thank you.

Hello,

as I just noticed, the service changed its address again...
The correct URL should now read:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
