Wikipedia has a nice list, but it's muddled by HTML tags. If you also have them in Chinese and Arabic that would be even better. If you Google for ISO Country Names Codes you'll find the standard list of countries and their 2-character codes. I suck that down every few months in a cron job and reset my country list in MySQL from it. I figure nobody can expect much better than that, given how seldom a country name changes or countries spring up out of nowhere or disappear. [tongue firmly planted in cheek, folks!] I'm sure somebody somewhere living in some country that does not make the ISO list will be mad at me someday, but I dunno what else I could do... I'm open to suggestions, however! And the Wikipedia list plus http://php.net/strip_tags might be better. -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

Because he saw a list, and then decided not to use it because it was muddled by HTML tags. That part is being lazy. At any rate, he asked for something unrelated to PHP. I'm sorry but PHP General isn't a data warehouse.

Re: [PHP] list of countries
A MySQL list would have been a better place for this. Then again Most people on the MySQL list would have known about http://dev.mysql.com/doc/world-setup/en/world-setup.html where as people on this are less likely to.

Re: [PHP] list of countries
Sorry, maybe I should have posted on that list. My post was about the list rather than about using MySQL. My initial thought was that country lists would have been something that people in this forum would have encountered and was also hoping that some people here would have multi-language experience for country lists in other languages. Thanks to all that have pointed me in the right direction. -James On Nov 7, 2006, at 4:41 PM, Rory Browne wrote: A MySQL list would have been a better place for this.
