what is the composer install line so I can add this to my site

Hi, normally composer has an install or require terminal code that one would type in to install this, I am wondering what that would be for your code.

thanks

[Proposal] One file with each country it its own language

Fx.

If I had chosen russia, I would not be able to find my own country again.

So I would say it would be nice to have 1 file, with each country it is own language.

Fx
Germany = Deutschland
Mexico = Mexicanos
Denmark = Danmark
Russia = Российская

maybe put it in country/general/country.*

Flag demo shows wrong flag for Zimbabwe

Minor issue:
In http://country-list.umpirsky.com/css/flags32.css the CSS for the Zimbabwean flag is showing the Zambian flag:
.f32 .zw{background-position:0 -7744px;}

Instead it should be:
.f32 .zw { background-position: 0 -7776px; }

Spelling incorrect (Netherlands)

The correct spelling in English is "The Netherlands", could you correct it?
Thank you!

Error while building

Hi,

I get the following error while building it

 [Symfony\Component\Intl\Exception\MethodArgumentValueNotImplementedException]

  nt $locale value 'af' behavior is not implemented. Only the locale "en" is

No idea what it means.

composer PHP requirements fails on PHP7

In your composer file you are using ~5.4, which causes composer to fail when using PHP7. I assume there is not reason that the package should not be used on PHP7? If not I suggest to change to >=5.4

Error when running composer:

umpirsky/country-list dev-master requires php ~5.4 -> your PHP version (7.0.2) does not satisfy that requirement

Class 'Locale' not found

$ ./console build

Fatal error: Class 'Locale' not found in /home/gadelat/tmp/country-list/vendor/symfony/locale/Symfony/Component/Locale/Locale.php on line 15

PHP 7

This should work perfectly with PHP 7, but it it's composer.json says
"php": "~5.4"

What about updating this?

Watch out USSR in the list!

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics... you are kidding!

Thanks for snippet but after this (USSR) I will need to check each country if it is not a joke.

Czech Republic is CZ

The locale code is listed as CS but that should be CZ. That changed in 1993 after Czechoslovakia (CS) split to the Czech Republic (CZ) and Slovakia (SK).

Cyprus in Turkish

I cant see Cyprus (Kıbrıs) for Turkish.

SQL Server unicode literals

SQL Server literals require an N before the unicode text.

Wrong:

INSERT INTO [country] ([id], [name]) VALUES ('AW', 'آروبا');

Correct:

INSERT INTO [country] ([id], [name]) VALUES ('AW', N'آروبا');

Add alpha-3 listing to output

In addition to the alpha-2 listing for each country it would be nice to also have the alpha-3 listing.

This would be useful for drop-down lists using something like Select2 that allows for filtering.

Issues in order by name in Turkish

https://raw.github.com/umpirsky/country-list/master/country/cldr/tr/country.mysql.sql

Here you can see that after Zimbabve there is Çad. Çad should have been between C and D. I think that the program that ordered the countries used the English alphabet instead of Turkish alphabet.

How do I load the json file

Hi could you please add to the readme file how we call one of the country databases please, as I have loaded it into my composer script but don't know how I fetch it

en list missing 'EU' country code

All lists under data/en are missing the 'EU' country code ('EU' => 'European Union')

It is in data/en_MU and a few others

Using this package in PHP/Composer

I'm not sure how this is supposed to be used with Composer. I don't think there is a reliable way to get the location (directory) of the data.

The simplest way around this is with an auto-loaded class that can return the directory the data is located. Would you accept a PR with this addition?

Edit: See my fork.

Wrong ISO Code for Albania in cldr/ln

The ISO Code for Albania in the Lingala (ln, including the sub languages ln_CD and ln_CG) is noted AX, but it should be AL. AX stands for the Åland Islands.

update

Can this list be updated according to UN memebership?

As these are correctly recognised as a country.

Missing countries in lists

3 countries are missing in the lists: Kosovo, Sint Maarten and South Sudan

Directory issue on windows

Adding country codes as well.

This is a very good resource. It can be used for Registration forms and other purposes. It would be very good, if the country calling codes could be as well added to this list.

Moreover, a string-array format for Android XML would be very good as well.

Tag a release in master branch

I have written a library that depends on country-list through composer and packagist. Now because there is no tagged release of country-list all projects that depend on my library must add "minimum-stability": "dev" to their composer.json.

Adding a tag would solve this for me. Hope it's not to much trubble...

Lost several countries for Russian language

List of countries:

Wrong string escape format for PostgrrSQL

Hello,

I am using the country.postgresql.sql file located at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/umpirsky/country-list/master/country/cldr/en/country.postgresql.sql.

Doing psql -f country.postgresql.sql does not work because of the way "People's Democratic Republic of Yemen" is escaped. The escape sequence should be doubling the single-quote character ''.

I wonder if this is expected, just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks!
Cam

make it available for npm

It is a great job, you should make it available for npm, a lot of people would apreciate and use it.

"Macedonia" : no such country

Thanks for your work :-)
Due to a naming dispute with Greece over the name "Macedonia", major organizations over the world refer to it as: "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (abbreviated FYROM)

zh-CN vs zh_CN?

My locale for Chinese is: zh-CN and your folder name is: zh_CN.

Any ideas on which is the best way to address this?

What I am getting is:
Unable to load the country data file "/home/vagrant/development/engine/vendor/umpirsky/country-list/country/cldr/zh-CN/country.php"

Côte d'Ivoire => Ivory Coast

Hello,
in english, there is "Côte d'Ivoire", why is in French ?

https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list/blob/master/country/cldr/en/country.json

Contains "dd": "East Germany". should be removed.

South Sudan is not present

"South Sudan became an independent state on 9 July 2011" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Sudan)

How is one supposed to use it?

How is one supposed to use it?
Do I just include php file with countries manually?
Is there any kind of public access class?

This is certainly not a correct way?:

$countriesFile = realpath(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'vendor' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'umpirsky' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'country-list' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'country' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'cldr' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'en_US' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'country.php');
$countries = include($countriesFile);

"East Germany"

Please remove "East Germany" from the list. It's not a country, it's a part of Germany.

Would it be possible to add phone codes of each country?

Self-explanatory title :)

Errors in cldr/seh and cldr/seh_MZ

Today I noticed that there are several errors in the files for the Sena language: cldr/seh and cldr/seh_MZ (the files in both folders are identical): A lot of names are associated with the wrong country codes. I went through the list and even though I don't know Sena, I was able to identify those names as obviously wrong:

    (Name in Sana)         (Name in English)
AE  Reino Unido            United Arab Emirates
GB  Uruguai                United Kingdom
TC  Tuvalu                 Turks and Caicos Islands
TG  Tokelau                Togo
TH  Togo                   Thailand
TK  Tonga                  Tokelau
TM  Ilhas Turks e Caicos   Turkmenistan
TN  Turquia                Tunisia
TO  Trinidad e Tobago      Tonga
TR  Turcomenistão          Turkey
TT  Tunísia                Trinidad and Tobago
TV  Ilhas Virgens dos EUA  Tuvalu
TZ  Tailândia              Tanzania
UA  Emirados Árabes Unidos Ukraine
UG  Ucrânia                Uganda
US  Uzbequistão            United States
UY  Estados Unidos         Uruguay
UZ  Vanuatu                Uzbekistan
VA  Venezuela              Vatican City
VE  Vietnã                 Venezuela
VI  Uganda                 U.S. Virgin Islands
VN  Wallis e Futuna        Vietnam
VU  Vaticano               Vanuatu
WF  Iêmen                  Wallis and Futuna
YE  Zâmbia                 Yemen
ZM  Zimbábue               Zambia

Name Order of the countries

Actually instead of ordering according to the abbreviation it would be better to order them according to the full name, in locals. Because when the user looks them, they look unordered.

Convert require to suggest in composer.json

I think the country-list should not have any requirements in composer.json.

If I don't want to build anything and just use a csv or yml file, I don't need zend, doctrine and symfony...

You can split the dependency between suggest and require-dev array in composer.

Add a license in README

Hi, I didn't found the the license explanation at your README file. I just found it on your composer file. Can you add your MIT license explanation on it? maybe just some enhancement to make us more clearly to understand. Thank you.

Missing `CC` country code

I was folding this repo against the Unicode CLDR data and noticed that I could not convert the CLDR file en_CC.xml to a locale name using this repository: CC is not a recognized country code.

It appears that CC is intended to be Cocos Islands.

I'm submitting this as an issue rather than a pull request because I'm not sure how to go about getting translations for "Cocos Islands" into all languages supported by this repository.

BQ in english list is: "British Antarctic Territory" not "Bonaire"

Shouldn't BQ be the code for Bonaire and not for the British Antarctic Territory?
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Decoding_table or
http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_txt.htm)

The problem is in the following list:
https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list/blob/master/country/cldr/en/country.json

Thanks for your list and your afford!

JSON is kind of useless unless it has proper key/values

With JS frameworks, and more generally REST APIs/HTTP requests, the current JSON structures are not much help, since we can't programmatically target keys.

How about this structure?

[
    { 
        id: 'AF', 
        value:'Afghanistan' 
    },
    {
        id: 'ZA', 
        value:'Afrique du Sud' 
    },
...
]
