So I was looking to get the countries names and end up with this, how would it be useful for you would ask?, well if your are creating a credential based form you could require to add that option.
It comes handy to have it for use at any moment. Remember to first check if the file exists before requiring it like so.
if( file_exists( $path_to_file . 'countries.php' ) require_once $path_to_file . 'countries.php';So then save this PHP array of countries in a document with the PHP extension, I named my example countries.php. Don’t forget to add the PHP opening and closing tags.
$countries = array(
