Using the I18N_Country Class
You use the I18N_Country class to determine the country name from a country code. The class has these two methods:
- void getName([: $code = '']): Returns the name of the country using the country code passed by the string argument $code.
- void isValidCode(mixed $code): Check whether the country code passed by the $code argument is valid.
Here's a simple example that shows how to use the methods of the I18N_Country class:
<?php
require_once 'I18N/Country.php';
$countries_codes = array('AF','AQ','BD',
'MB','DE','FR','HR','JP','IS','IT','MU',
'RO','US','JA');
print '<font face style="Arial" color="000076">';
print '<h4><u>Countries codes</u></h4>';
foreach( $countries_codes as $code )
{
//Create an instance of the I18N_Country class
$country = new I18N_Country ();
print '<font face style="Arial" color="000076"
size="3"><b>'.$code.'</b> -->';
//Check if $code is a valid code
if($country->isValidCode($code))
{
//Return name of the country for country code passed
print ( $country->getName($code) ).'<br />';
}
else
{
print '<font face style="Arial" color="red" size="3">';
print ( '<b> This is not a valid code!!! </b><br />' );
}
}
?>
The output of this example is:
Countries codes
AF -->AFGHANISTAN
AQ -->ANTARCTICA
BD -->BANGLADESH
MB --> <font color=red>This is not a valid code!!!</font>
DE -->GERMANY
FR -->FRANCE
HR -->CROATIA (local name: Hrvatska)
JP -->JAPAN
IS -->ICELAND
IT -->ITALY
MU -->MAURITIUS
RO -->ROMANIA
US -->UNITED STATES
JA --> <font color=red>This is not a valid code!!! </font>
Using the I18N_Language Class
You use the I18N_Language class to determine the language name from a specified language code using the
getName method:
- void getName([: $code = ''], : 1): Returns the name of the language using the language code passed by the string argument $code. The 1 parameter represents the string language code.
Here's a simple application that uses the I18N_Language class:
<?php
require_once 'I18N/Language.php';
$language_codes = array('af','da','es','de','fr','ja',
'it','mn','ro','en');
print '<font face style="Arial" color="000076">';
print '<h4><u>Language codes</u></h4>';
foreach( $language_codes as $code )
{
//Create an instance of the I18N_Language class
$language = new I18N_Language ();
print '<font face style="Arial" color="000076" size="3"><b>'.
$code.'</b> -->';
//Return name of the language for language code passed
print ($language->getName($code)).'<br />';
}
?>
The output of this example is:
Language codes
af -->Afrikaans
da -->Danish
es -->Spanish
de -->German
fr -->French
ja -->Japanese
it -->Italian
mn -->Mongolian
ro -->Romanian
en -->English
The combination of the user's country and language give you the locale.
