PHP Countries is a library that provides an elegant syntax to country data.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install PHP Countries via Composer, as follows.

```
composer require djokodonev/php-countries-fork

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use PHP Countries, you must create a new `Countries` object.

```
use RapidWeb\Countries\Countries;

$countries = new Countries;
```

You can then call various methods on this object, to get country data.

### Retrieving all countries

[](#retrieving-all-countries)

You can easily retrieve an array of all countries and iterate through them, as follows.

```
foreach($countries->all() as $country) {
    var_dump($country->name.' - '.$country->officialName);
}
```

### Retrieving country by name

[](#retrieving-country-by-name)

Country details can be retrieved from the country's official or common name.

```
var_dump($countries->getByName('United Kingdom'));

/*

  ["name"]=>
  string(14) "United Kingdom"
  ["officialName"]=>
  string(52) "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

*/
```

### Retrieving country by ISO 3166-1 code

[](#retrieving-country-by-iso-3166-1-code)

You can get the data for a country by its ISO 3166-1 code. The 2 character, 3 character and numeric variations are all accepted.

```
var_dump($countries->getByIsoCode('USA'));

/*

  string(13) "United States"
  ["officialName"]=>
  string(24) "United States of America"
  // etc...
}
*/
```

[](#retrieving-country-by-language-spoken)

Providing a language, will return an array of all countries in which that language is spoken. You can provide a language name or code.

```
var_dump($countries->getByLanguage('German'));

/*

  object(RapidWeb\Countries\Country)#4913 (16) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(7) "Belgium"
