php-fakerHow do I generate a random country code using PHP Faker?

The PHP Faker library can be used to generate random country codes. It provides the countryCode method to generate a random two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.

For example, the following code block will generate a random country code:

<?php

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

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

echo $faker->countryCode;

The output of the code above could be something like US or CA or IT.

The code block above consists of the following parts:

1. require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; - This line includes the autoloader that is used to autoload all the necessary classes from the Faker library.
2. $faker = \Faker\Factory::create(); - This line creates an instance of the Faker library.
3. echo $faker->countryCode; - This line uses the countryCode method of the Faker library to generate a random country code.
