Ther is a VAT number validation API.

How to use this; integrate it in PHP to validate VAT-numbers without
the
user experiencing anything?
Did you even have a go? Did you look at the PHP manual for clues as to
how to make an HTTP request?
Lucky for you I've used this API before so I already had a snippet so
I dug it out and knocked up an example: http://dev.stut.net/php/validatevat.php
Note that it's nowhere near production-quality code but it should give
you a head start. Also note that this relies upon you having the
allow_url_fopen configuration option enabled. If you don't then you
could do this with curl or raw sockets. Again the manual is your friend.
