Magento – get country list select dropdown

Date September 19, 2014 Author By Razvan Mocanu Category Magento how to

If you want to use the dropdown country selector, the same one as on the registration page:

<?php $_countries = Mage::getResourceModel('directory/country_collection')
    ->loadData()
    ->toOptionArray(false) ?>
<?php if (count($_countries) > 0): ?>
    <select name="country" id="country" class="required-entry">
        <option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
        <?php foreach($_countries as $_country): ?>
            <option value="<?php echo $_country['value'] ?>">
                <?php echo $_country['label'] ?>
            </option>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </select>
<?php endif; ?>
