Validate and parse **Philippine SEC registration numbers** in PHP — recognizes the `CS` / `CN` / `A` / `FS` / `FN` / `PG` prefix + year + sequence formats and labels the entity type. Zero-dependency. PHP companion to the npm package `@ph-dev-utils/business`.

> **Format-level only.** This checks the *structure* of a registration number and infers the entity type from the prefix. It is **not** a registry lookup — always confirm a company against the [SEC verification portal](https://www.sec.gov.ph).

```
composer require phdevutils/business
```

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use PhDevUtils\Business\Sec;

Sec::validate('CS2019-12345');   // true
Sec::validate('cs201912345');    // true  (dashes/spaces/case ignored)
Sec::validate('12345678');       // false (purely numeric legacy certs are out of scope)

Sec::parse('CS2019-12345');
// [
//   'prefix' => 'CS', 'entityType' => 'corporation',
//   'entityLabel' => 'Stock or non-stock corporation (unified)', 'era' => '2013–present',
//   'year' => 2019, 'sequence' => '12345', 'formatted' => 'CS2019-12345', 'raw' => 'CS2019-12345'
// ]

Sec::entityType('PG2018-00042'); // 'partnership'
Sec::format('cs 2019 12345');    // 'CS2019-12345'  (canonical form)
```

Entity-type labels are a best-effort reading of public SEC guidance — prefixes and their meanings have shifted across eras, so treat them as indicative.
