bala.nita09 (14-11-2009 14:51) :
Just what I wanted. Special Thanks goes to 'ALoses' since his/her version is the one i copied. But ALoses' version can be generated on our own by just using foreach loop. Thanks all folks!

Nowaker (21-11-2009 19:51) :
Under which license do you publish this code? I know that everyone can create the same array but I copy this one I need a license.

Nowaker (21-11-2009 19:55) :
Under what license do you publish this list?

i guess im right (07-12-2009 06:40) :

nerkn (08-04-2010 14:45) :
Pavel's code is much better. I'll use that with foreach to build selec element,
kazakistan and russia seems same dial code.
Perhaps best way is to keep in varchar format

Anonymous (26-05-2010 09:15) :
Useful. Thanks

Saman (31-07-2010 00:58) :
See the array at http://www.expertcore.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=188 which has short country code as well.
