You're a life saver :) Thank you!

$countries['GB'] = ['name' => 'United Kingdom',];

Cough Cough :) #Brexit :)

@PhilETaylor Lol

This structure would have made search by name doable:

$countries= [ [ 'code' => 'AT', 'name'=>'Austria'], [ 'code' => 'BE', 'name'=>'Belgium'], ... ];

Cheers

GB is no longer in the EU, so this line should be removed

$countries['GB'] = ['name' => 'United Kingdom',];

👍

GB also !== UK either - they are 2 totally different things  On 26 May 2023, at 00:12, Petar ***@***.***> wrote: Re: ***@***.*** commented on this gist. -------------------------------- 👍 — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <https://gist.github.com/sumanthkumarc/3204c761eaa1646f3a4fd6cb1cf99e7c#gistcomment-4579932> or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AADBVXDYXMJGL3WJL6QBHYTXH7RNXBFKMF2HI4TJMJ2XIZLTSKBKK5TBNR2WLJDHNFZXJJDOMFWWLK3UNBZGKYLEL52HS4DFQKSXMYLMOVS2I5DSOVS2I3TBNVS3W5DIOJSWCZC7OBQXE5DJMNUXAYLOORPWCY3UNF3GS5DZVRZXKYTKMVRXIX3UPFYGLK2HNFZXIQ3PNVWWK3TUUZ2G64DJMNZZDAVEOR4XAZNEM5UXG5FFOZQWY5LFVA4DGMBYGY2TSNFHORZGSZ3HMVZKMY3SMVQXIZI> .

@PhilETaylor can you explain the difference between the two? Thanks

Sure - I have to quote this at least once a month as I live in Jersey, Channel Islands, which are also not in the UK, but often people say we are (Ref: https://www.gov.je/Leisure/Jersey/pages/profile.aspx)

GB = "England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain"

UK = "The United Kingdom includes Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland"

Very interesting, thank you!
