        if(preg_match($pattern, $ccode, $matches))
        {

            $code = $matches[0];
        } else $code = substr($ccode, 0, 4);
        $q = "SELECT nicename FROM country.country WHERE phonecode=$code";
        if($query = $db->query($q)) 
        {
            $record = $query->fetch_assoc();
        } else echo "<br/>NO RECORD";
        echo '<pre>';print_r($record);

        if (empty($_POST["phone"]))
        {
            echo "<p>Please write a Phone Number!</p>";
        }
        $abb = "SELECT zone_id FROM zone INNER JOIN country on country.country_code = zone.country_code
                WHERE country.country_name = " . $record['nicename'];
        if($query = $db->query($abb)) 
        {
            $result = $query->fetch_assoc();
        } else echo "<br/>NO RECORD";
        echo '<pre>';print_r($result);
    ?>
