EAN-13

The thirteen-digit article number printed on retail packaging almost everywhere outside North America. The first digits are the GS1 company prefix, issued by a GS1 member organisation; the last is a modulo 10 check digit.

Give the library twelve digits and it computes the check. Give it thirteen and it verifies the one you supplied, rather than appending a second.

An article number

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$barcode = new \Com\Tecnick\Barcode\Barcode();
$bobj = $barcode->getBarcodeObj(
    type: 'EAN13',
    code: '9781234567897',
    width: -3,
    height: -30,
    color: 'black',
    padding: [0, 0, 0, 0],
)->setBackgroundColor('white');

echo $bobj->getInlineSvgCode();

With a five-digit add-on

$bobj = $barcode->getBarcodeObj(
    type: 'EAN13',
    code: '9781234567897+12345',
    width: -3,
    height: -30,
    color: 'black',
    padding: [0, 0, 0, 0],
