Usage

List Counties

<?php

use UKCounties\Counties;

print_r(Counties::getCounties()); // Returns array of counties e.g. array(1 => 'Bedfordshire', 2 => 'Berkshire', 3 => 'Bristol', etc, etc, etc)

// To list the counties in alphabetical order you can use getCountiesByName() instead of getCounties()
print_r(Counties::getCountiesByName()); // Returns same as above but in alphabetical order

Get County ID By Name

This can be used to store a unique county ID in a database rather than duplicating information.

<?php

use UKCounties\Counties;

echo(Counties::getCountyID('West Yorkshire')); // Returns 46

echo(Counties::getCountyID('Aberdeenshire')); // Returns 60

Get County Name By ID

<?php

use UKCounties\Counties;

echo(Counties::getCountyName(46)); // Returns "West Yorkshire"

echo(Counties::getCountyName(60)); // Returns "Aberdeenshire"
