data look up before submission

Hi,

I have a country list and I need to assign a region code depending on the country that is selected. My form uses pipes like so:

[select* Country include_blank “Afghanistan|AF” “Aland Islands|AX”…etc]

I need to be able to return something that looks like this:

Country: US
Region Code: REGION4

Is there any way short of creating a db table and doing a mysql lookup of the country to find the corresponding region?

Would listo work for this purpose?

And if doing a mysql lookup is the only way, any hints as to where would we insert this code?

thanks!
