PHP intl country code 2 chars to country name

Question

I\'m triying to convert, using PHP, 2 characters country code (ISO 3166-1) to country names, or intl country codes, so I can translate the country name.

Using Loca

Answer 1

Maybe a bit late...

I wrote a small library in order to do this and some other ISO related things.

https://github.com/php-components/isocodes

Would be great to get some feedback or even pull requests in order to impove that library.

use ISOCodes\ISO3166_1\Adapter\Json as ISO3166_1Adapter;

$countryAdapter = new ISO3166_1Adapter();
// Get the country with alpha-2 code 'NL'
$country = $countryAdapter->get('nl');

if (null === $country) {
    die('Country not found!');
}

// Get the french (fr) name.
echo $country->getName('fr');

The result would be Pays-Bas

You can use alpha-2, alpha-3 or numeric code to do the country search.
