world database of country state and city

[tokcy]

Hi everyone,

I need the world database of country state and city. Actually i have three drop down option in my project in 1st drop down country name should come from database and 2nd drop down state name should come from database according to country and in 3rd drop down cities name should come from database according to states.

I have tried many search engine but i could not get any proper info regarding this i mean some time i get whole country name or some time i gat only cities name that i do not want. and somewhere is paid.

If you have any info regarding free database then plz tell me the details.
i will be very grateful to you...

thanks

do you have three different databases or 3 different tables within one datebase. in the first case its very simple. you simply use a select statement after you post one drop down list.

<?php if(isset($_POST["country"]){
    $query = "SELECT * FROM states WHERE country =".$_POST["country"]
    }if(isset($_POST["state"]){
    $query2 = "SELECT * FROM cities WHERE state=".$_POST["state"]
    }
 

after this: execute the queries and use the resulting array to fill the drop down lists

I think it's the database that he's asking for - not how to query it.

Check out geo world map (bottom right); it may or may not be what you're looking for.

I'll move this question to misc because it is not specifically about PHP.

Bottom right. GeoWorldMap.

It's not in SQL format, you'll have to do some work to convert it.
