PHP States Resource

[MrFish]

For anyone who needs both the state and state symbol in an array.

	$states = array	(		array("Alabama", "AL"),		array("Alaska", "AK"),		array("Arizona", "AZ"),		array("Arkansas", "AR"),		array("California", "CA"),		array("Colorado", "CO"),		array("Connecticut", "CT"),		array("Delaware", "DE"),		array("Florida", "FL"),		array("Georgia", "GA"),		array("Hawaii", "HI"),		array("Idaho", "ID"),		array("Illinois", "IL"),		array("Indiana", "IN"),		array("Iowa", "IA"),		array("Kansas", "KS"),		array("Kentucky", "KY"),		array("Louisiana", "LA"),		array("Maine", "ME"),		array("Maryland", "MD"),		array("Massachusetts", "MA"),		array("Michigan", "MI"),		array("Minnesota", "MN"),		array("Mississippi", "MS"),		array("Missouri", "MO"),		array("Montana", "MT"),		array("Nebraska", "NE"),		array("Nevada", "NV"),		array("New Hampshire", "NH"),		array("New Jersey", "NJ"),		array("New Mexico", "NM"),		array("New York", "NY"),		array("North Carolina", "NC"),		array("North Dekota", "ND"),		array("Ohio", "OH"),		array("Oklahoma", "OK"),		array("Oregon", "OR"),		array("Pennsylvania", "PA"),		array("Rhode Island", "RI"),		array("South Carolina", "SC"),		array("South Dakota", "SD"),		array("Tennessee", "TN"),		array("Texas", "TX"),		array("Utah", "UT"),		array("Vermont", "VT"),		array("Virginia", "VI"),		array("Washington", "WA"),		array("West Virginia", "WV"),		array("Wisconsin", "WI"),		array("Wyoming", "WY")	)

For example

<select id="state" name="state">	<?php		for($i = 0; $i < count($states); $i++)		{			$s = $states[$i][0];			$ss = $states[$i][1];						$selected = "";			if($region == $s)				$selected = "SELECTED";							echo "<option value='$ss' $selected>$s</option>";		}	?></select>

In my code $region is the stored state location of the user. With this I can get the users predefined location and automatically make it selected in this selection. Enjoy
