PHP将文本分解为数组[关闭]

Question

I am trying to convert the contents of this link (only the Country/code list) into an array. To do so I tried using explode(), but exploding on , , , or doesn't work.

Anybody knows what they are using? I only need the country name and the 2 letter-code.

Answer 1

consider using this page instead - http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_txt.htm

or in XML http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_xml.htm

as it will be easier to parse!

To do it programmatically...

$country_arr = [];
$raw = file_get_contents("http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_txt.html");
$lines = explode("
",$raw);
foreach ($lines as &$line) {
    $bits = explode(";",$line);
    $country_arr[$bits[0]] = $bits[1];
}
