Country

The Country component provides a database of countries according to ISO 3166.

Note

There are currently two implementations.

The recommended model implementation (\Cx\Core\Country\Model\Entity\Country) which uses alpha-2 codes are identifiers and the legacy database implementation (\Cx\Core\Country\Controller\Country) which uses integers as identifiers.

Implementation

The \Cx\Core\Country\Model\Entity\Country model provies localized lables of all ISO 3166 countries.

Example

$country = $this->cx->getDb()->getEntityManager()->getRepository(
    \Cx\Core\Country\Model\Entity\Country::class
)->findOneBy(
    ['alpha2' => 'CH']
);
// will output: `CH`
echo $country->getAlpha2();
// will output: `Switzerland (CH)`
echo $country;

Legacy Implementation

Warning

The \Cx\Core\Country\Controller\Country controller is marked as deprecated. Do use the model implementation instead.

Example

Generate a HTML-select dropdown menu:

1
2
3
4
5
// fetch pre-selected value from POST data
$countryId = contrexx_input2raw($_POST['country_id']);

// output HTML-select dropdown
print \Cx\Core\Country\Controller\Country::getMenu('country_id', $countryId);

Example

Generate a custom HTML-select dropdown menu:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
// fetch pre-selected value from POST data
$countryId = contrexx_input2raw($_POST['country_id']);

// build HTML-select
$htmlSelectDropDown  = '<select name="country_id">'
$htmlSelectDropDown .= \Cx\Core\Country\Controller\Country::getMenuoptions($countryId);
$htmlSelectDropDown .= '</select>'

// output HTML-select dropdown
print $htmlSelectDropDown
