[svankamon]

Hi All. Im looking for a countries/cities piece of code to place in my countries cities drop down menu.

The code should be in this format:
Any ideas or guidance would be gratefully received.

CHEERS.:

"USA" => array ("Akron OH", "Albany NY", "Albuquerque NM", "Allentown PA", "Anchorage AK", "Atlanta GA", "Atlantic City NJ", "Austin TX", "Baltimore MD", "Baton Rouge LA", "Billings MT", "Birmingham etc.
"Australia" => array ("Adelaide", "Brisbane", "Melbourne", "Sydney", "other (Australia)" ),
"Canada" => array ("Barrie", "Calgary", "Edmonton", "Halifax", "Kelowna", "Montreal", "Ottawa", "Quebec", "Saskatchewan", "Toronto", "Vancouver", "Victoria", "Winnipeg", "other (Canada)" ),
"China" => array ("Beijing", "Hong Kong", "Shanghai", "other (China)" ),

First of all, that's a WHOLE LOT of work for something so simple that a user can type in.

Anyways, to get you started: http://stephen.calvarybucyrus.org/search/list+of+ohio+cities

You'd have to do a lot of work manually, but this would get you all the cities in the US by doing each state.

If you're looking for major cities, look at an atlas (they're usually highlighted in yellow). Or you might find a list of cities for each state on the internet that sorts cities by their population.

Any way you go, it's a lot of work. Better to do it by zip code and get their city that way.

The drop down is a regular on a lot of sites. They must get a script from somewhere. However, looks like il do it myself. Should do it in a couple of days but was hoping i could buy it for $20. (He He He He).

Thanks for post. You did however make the picture in my mind of it smaller than it was.?? Somehow. Understand that. I dont. Cheers again.
