Magento: enter country code by country name

Question

I tried to find the country code by country name. So, for example, I have "Netherlands", I need to get "NL"

I know there is a way to find the name form code:

$country_name = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getCountryTranslation($country_code) 

But I need the other way around.
So, are there any methods in Magento to solve it?

Answer 1

From another question , this can only be done by cycling through the village collection.

$countryId = '';
$countryCollection = Mage::getModel('directory/country')->getCollection();
foreach ($countryCollection as $country) {
    if ($countryName == $country->getName()) {
        $countryId = $country->getCountryId();
        break;
    }
}
echo $countryId;

Due to how the data is stored in XML, there is no way to filter or load by name.

It works for me $list = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getCountryTranslationList(); $list=array_flip($list); echo $list['United States'];

Answer 3

. , , XML, XML .

$list = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getCountryTranslationList();
foreach ($list as $id => $name) {
    if ($name == $countryName) {
        return $id;
    }
}

, . :

$oldCode = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode();
Mage::app()->getLocale()->setLocaleCode('en_US');
...

...
Mage::app()->getLocale()->setLocaleCode($oldCode);
