Description

Author

Dave Smith

This class can format postal address according to country rules.

It takes as parameters an array of elements that define the postal address like recipient name, street, number, building, locality, province, postal code and country.

The class reads template files that define how to format an address for each country. Currently it provides templates for several countries and a default template for other countries.

The class can format the address for a full mailing or waypoint address. The country name may be optionally omitted.

<?PHP

/*


We need to set up some nations (countries). For this example we will do it manually,


however you can easily get the data from a database. We need to supply


the abbreviation and the nation name using the class method - addNation


*/


$adf->addNation('US','United States of America');


$adf->addNation('EN','England');





//or assigning directly to the class property - nation_array


$adf->nation_array['CA'] = 'Canada';


$adf->nation_array['PT'] = 'Portugal';





//sort the class property - nation_array


//we are also setting the US key/value pair at the top of that order


$adf->sortNation('US');





//processing the posted data


if( !empty($_REQUEST['form_posted']) ){
