I needed a PHP array of US State Names & Abbreviations in a project the other day. Here’s four arrays: An entire list of US abbreviations, US State Names, and two associative arrays. Information pulled directly from USPS.Hope it helps!

Good ref. to USPS, totally forgot about them!
Why do you have so many arrays vs. just one?
Here’s method I use: https://gist.github.com/gists/3176437/ to go from “Maryland” to “md”. Haven’t added support yet to go from “md” to “Maryland”.
I only used one array for the project I was working with, but figured someone might want / need it in a different format and didn’t want to mess with flipping the array, etc. Your function makes a bit more sense than a whole bunch of arrays though 🙂 Thanks!
I don’t think “mess” was the right word choice there. 😉
You need only a single array:
$us_state_abbrevs_names. Then usearray_flip()orarray_keys()if needed. Having multiple arrays with the same contents is a lot messier and less DRY. (Gist mentioned above seems to be gone, by the way.)Heh yeah you’re absolutely right — I almost don’t want to look at my code from 6 month ago because of stuff like this! But at least I can re-write history and change the gist 🙂
