US State Names and Abbreviations as PHP Arrays

Re: US State Names and Abbreviations as PHP Arrays
#12I made the website http://devdata.io for this exact reason. You can get an array/list/object of US state names and abbreviations (and lots of other datasets) in any language supported (currently JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, and Lua).
Suggestions, based on what we also have/use.
Datasets: Languages (human), SMS Carriers
Language: SQL

Possibilities:
N-1/+1 joke, since Delaware was the first (by date of ratification) state.
Discussion around incomplete sets (do you include "military" states or other non-"50 state" territories?).
Ad hominem attack on removed entity (claiming entity is unimportant).
Re: US State Names and Abbreviations as PHP Arrays
#14I'm surprised PHP doesn't already have US_state_name_to_abbreviation() and US_state_abbreviation_to_name() baked in already. This is a language that supports[0] Swatch Internet time[1]. Literally, a "time" format made up as a gimmick to advertise one specific brand of wristwatch from the late 1990s. I hope someone on Hacker News who contributes to the PHP core can attempt to correct this discrepancy. [0] http://www.p…
I suspect it would be US_state_name_to_abbreviation() and USStateAbbr2Name() in order to meet PHP's consistency requirements.
When I developed in PHP, I could never understand why they didn't just reach a compromise that made everyone happy. Like uS_state_nameToAbbreviation() and uSStateAbbr_to_name()
I call it camel_Snake.

Great, now I have tea all over my desk.
Although it was totally worth it. ;-)
Re: US State Names and Abbreviations as PHP Arrays
#16http://statetable.com will give you datasets with US states and/or Canadian provinces, current and/or historical, with or without DC, with or without minor territories & posessions, and with or without military addresses.
Data can be exported in CSV, a PHP array, or a whole mess of MySQL commands to build a table.
It's also open source if you just want the source data: https://github.com/daveross/statetable-com/blob/master/state...
