How to get ISO 3166-1 compatible country code?
I am working on displaying list of timezones by country name.
As answered here: Country to timezones in PHP/Zend Framework
I am thinking to call DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers(DateTimeZone::PER_COUNTRY, 'US') to list all timezones by country.
Is there any easy way to get list of ISO 3166-1 compatible country codes and their corresponding names in PHP(PHP 5.3)?

I have just compiled a list from the link mentioned by Riccardo Zorn.
