php-fakerHow can I use PHP Faker to generate a random country code?

PHP Faker is a library that can be used to generate random data. It can be used to generate a random country code by using the countryCode method. This method takes no parameters and returns a random two-letter country code.

Example code

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();

$countryCode = $faker->countryCode;

echo $countryCode;

Example output:

The code above first includes the Faker library with require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'. Then, it creates an instance of the Faker class with $faker = Faker\Factory::create(). Finally, it generates a random country code with $countryCode = $faker->countryCode and prints it with echo $countryCode.

Code explanation

• require_once 'vendor/autoload.php': includes the Faker library
• $faker = Faker\Factory::create(): creates an instance of the Faker class
• $countryCode = $faker->countryCode: generates a random country code
• echo $countryCode: prints the generated country code
