You mean 'Country Code', right? 'International prefix' usually means 'international dialing prefix' (eg http://kropla.com/dialcode.htm#IDD).

Country codes can be 1-4 digits long, and some satellite services use multiple codes for some countries, so it's a much better idea to separate country phone codes into their own column.

Hi Friends,
I have a ticky mysql problem.
I need to find the country name from the country prefix so eg. i have a mysql table with prefix and name as the coumns and with datas like :
Prefix, Name
1          USA
11        XYZ
44        UK
91        India
92        Pakistan
123      ZXF
and i have a number like 911122334455 and i need t match that to india.
I cannt do that directly by this statement select name from country_table where prefix='91'; for the simple reason as i do not have the length or the no. of digits the prefix is beforehand.
Pl. help me out.
Quick help will be appreciated.
