Description:
------------
HTML_Select_Common 1.1 stable

The abbreviations being stored by this class are blatantly wrong, and have been wrong for years. No one must use this class to not have reported this.

The abbreviations for Alaska and Arkansas are swapped.

----- original snippet ------
class HTML_Select_Common_USState
{
/**
* Constructor
*
* @access public
*/
function HTML_Select_Common_USState()
{
$this->_states['ak'] = 'Alabama';
$this->_states['al'] = 'Alaska';
$this->_states['ar'] = 'Arizona';
----- snippet ------

http://www.usps.com/ncsc/lookups/usps_abbreviations.html
ALABAMA AL
ALASKA AK
ARIZONA AZ

I actually did send an email to the developer about this 2 years ago.

Expected result:
----------------
class HTML_Select_Common_USState
{
/**
* Constructor
*
* @access public
*/
function HTML_Select_Common_USState()
{
$this->_states['al'] = 'Alabama';
$this->_states['ak'] = 'Alaska';
$this->_states['ar'] = 'Arizona';

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net.

In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better.
