State Code help

[XxDxX]

Hello, I have been having some big troubles with this code, I would like it if you guys could help me with it. I get this error on the browser:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.', expecting ')' in /var/www/html/functions12.php on line 7 and line 17.

The code is below.

<?php
function getStateCode()
{
$stateCode = array(1=> "AL" ,                         

"AK" ,
"AZ" ,
...
"WY" );         

return $stateCode;
}

function getStateName()
{
$stateName = array(1=> "Alabama",
"Alaska",
"Ariziona",
...
"Wyoming" );
return $stateName;
}
?>

Is that your actual code, or the ...'s just an abbreviation for the post?

Yes that is the code.

Well I guess that you copied that from somewhere. The ... are more than likely an abbreviation, where your supposed to add all of the other states and state codes to make a complete list. I'd also suggest that it's not an ideal format to use.

function getState($code){
  $statecodes = array("AK" => "Alaska", "AZ" => "Arizona", "WY" => "Wyoming");
  return $statecodes[$code];
}
$state = getState("AK"); // Returns "Alaska"

If you want to get the state code from the state name, then reverse the array key/index pair or use array_keys().
