   <?php


$dbHost = 'localhost'; // usually localhost
$dbUsername = 'root';
$dbPassword = '1234fedf';
$dbDatabase = 'smsmobile';
$db = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUsername, $dbPassword) or die ("Unable to connect to Database Server.");
mysql_select_db ($dbDatabase, $db) or die ("Could not select database.");

$sql = "SELECT destinationaddress FROM reporting";
//print $sql;

$queryRes1 = mysql_query($sql);

while($rows=mysql_fetch_assoc($queryRes1))
{
$destinationaddress[] = $rows['destinationaddress']; 

}



$phones = $destinationaddress;



// get your list of country codes
$ccodes = array(
    '1' => 'us',
    '2' => 'uk',
    '3' => 'de',
    '44' => 'fi',
    '123' => 'no',
    '971' =>'uae',
    '91' =>'india',
    '92' =>'pakistan'
);

krsort( $ccodes );

foreach( $phones as $pn )
{
    foreach( $ccodes as $key=>$value )
    {
        if ( substr( $pn, 0, strlen( $key ) ) == $key )
        {
            // match
            $country[$pn] = $value;
            break;
        }
    }
}

print_r( $country );    
    ?>

Something like this will work:

// get your list of numbers from DB
$phones = array( '971527139011', '171527139011' );

// get your list of country codes
$ccodes = array(
    '1' => 'us',
    '2' => 'uk',
    '3' => 'de',
    '44' => 'fi',
    '123' => 'no',
    '971' =>'uae',
    '91' =>'india',
    '92' =>'pakistan'
);

krsort( $ccodes );

foreach( $phones as $pn )
{
    foreach( $ccodes as $key=>$value )
    {
        if ( substr( $pn, 0, strlen( $key ) ) == $key )
        {
            // match
            $country[$pn] = $value;
            break;
        }
    }
}

print_r( $country );

Edit

The data is pretty messy, I suggest you store it in different columns, but, if the structure of the data is always the same, this will extract the country/code from it:

$data = array( 'country : Denmark prefix:45', 'country : Pakistan prefix:92' );

foreach ( $data as $string )
{
    $_a = explode( ':', $string );
    $_b = explode( ' ', $_a[1] );
    $ccode[$_a[2]] = $_b[1];
}

print_r( $ccode );
