Hello All,
Magento has inbuilt model for Country and State as seen in Checkout page.
In checkout page if you select Country like ‘France’ , a drop down will be seen in place of textbox for States.
I am writing here the code to directly get country name from ID and also to get States info from country.
<?php
$countryName = Mage::getModel('directory/country')->load('FR')->getName(); //get country name
echo 'Country Name ->'.$countryName.'<br/>';
$states = Mage::getModel('directory/country')->load('FR')->getRegions();
//state names
foreach ($states as $state)
{
echo 'ID->'.$state->getId().'<br/>';
echo 'Name->'.$state->getName().'<br/>';
}
?>
Also checkout this post Get List of Countries in Magento
Hope this is useful.
This is great, just what I needed! thanks
I found the solution,
$stateCollection = Mage::getModel(‘directory/country’)->load(‘US’)->getRegions()->toOptionArray();
$fieldset->addField(‘state’, ‘select’, array(
‘label’ => Mage::helper(‘studentcenter’)->__(‘State’),
‘required’ => true,
‘name’ => ‘state’,
‘values’ => $stateCollection,
));
@Shaaa – Thats correct, thanks for sharing.
How can i use this for admin module form?
Where a drop down box for state is applied like follows.
$fieldset->addField(‘state’, ‘select’, array(
‘label’ => Mage::helper(‘studentcenter’)->__(‘State’),
‘required’ => true,
‘name’ => ‘state’,
‘values’ => array(
array(
‘value’ => ”,
‘label’ => Mage::helper(‘studentcenter’)->__(‘– Select State –‘),
),
),
));
