use peterkahl\Countries\Countries;

$link = mysqli_connect($DB_HOSTNAME, $DB_USERNAME, $DB_PASSWORD, $DB_DBNAME);

mysqli_set_charset($link, "utf8mb4");

$countryObj = new Countries;
$countryObj->dbresource = $link;
$array = $countryObj->getAllCodesNames('zh-tw'); # Chinese traditional

echo '<select>';
foreach ($array as $val) {
  echo '<option value="'.$val['code'].'">'.$val['name'].'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

$countryObj = new Countries;
$countryObj->dbresource = $link;

echo $countryObj->code2countryName('US', 'ru'); # ??????????? ?????

Get all information for a given country:
