The attached SQL contains the entire list of 70+ states, provinces and territories recognized by the US and Canadian postal services.

The list has been formatted so that US values are the top values, then a seperator, then the Canadian values.

Create your custom cb_state field.

Replace the 'YY' with your table pre-fix, replace the 'XX' with your fieldid.

Tested successfully using phpMyAdmin 2.8.1 against a mySQL 5.0.18 database.

All the best, Bill.

Can 'XX' any number that doesnt showed in my tables? Or any standar rules?
And how's when all goin wrong? Can I back to before insert it?

Hi there,

I see this thread a bit late but as this is a field I know; the official and standard list of country and territory codes is available here:

www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/index.html


This is iso 3166 list

Best

In case you use it, the original downloadable list of U.S. states here (from the original Joomlapolis tutorial) contains an error: both Nevada and New Hampshire are #28.

Hi guys,

I am wondering something, I recently made the countrylist population and it worked fine. But now everything is messed up for countrylist and for statelist. I think it is after I made some tests with the cb advanced search and performing "update of search fields", but I am not sure...
Anyway what happens is that the order is completely wrong. However, when I go to the database, everything is still in the same order....
Any idea where it may come from?

thanks
