Hi Saras,
It's very simple create a text file with all country names(each in a new line)
suppose that file name is "country.txt"
$country_arr=file("country.txt");
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($country_arr);$i++)
{
$country=$country_arr[$i];
echo "$country";
}

Note: if the file is in some other location give the path

Easy. Just use file().

For details and an example see:

Hi,
If you want create the list

 use this

 $country_arr=file("country.txt");
 echo "<SELECT name=\"country\">\n";
 for($i=0;$i<sizeof($country_arr);$i++)
 {
    $country=$country_arr[$i];
    echo "<OPTION value=\"$country\">$country</OPTION>\n";
 }
 echo "</SELECT>

Cheers
Ajay

Thanks,

Ok the coding is fine but how to get the default selected country after it saved.

Sorry - since I have no context "get the default selected country after it saved." make no sense.
