Question

Want to fetch all Carrier Names in a .PHP file In a Core PHP file which is available in a inner folder of Magento,

For Ex. MagentoRootFolder/CorePHPFolder/File.php**

For Using Magento Code Externally I am using following Code :

// extra code 
?>
<select>
    <?php 
        // **Here I need Code** to Get *All Shipping Carrier List*
    ?>
</select>

Answer 1

Using the Mage_Shipping_Model_Config model you can get a list of active carriers, their code in Magento and the model used for that carrier.

Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getActiveCarriers();

returns an array with the code as key, the model as value.

To get the name or any other System > Configuration value you could use the code

Mage::getStoreConfig("carriers/{$code}/title");

Answer 2

If you are looking for all the carriers, use the below code for reference.

<code>
$carriersData = array();
$carriers = Mage::getsingleton("shipping/config")->getAllCarriers();
foreach($carriers as $code => $method){
    $carriersData[$code] = array(
        "title"     => Mage::getStoreConfig("carriers/$code/title"),
        "methods"   => $method->getMethods(),
     );
}
</code>

That will get you all the shipping modules, even if there are custom ones installed from other modules.

Robs answer is great, but if you just need the custom once like in my case then the following

$carriers = array();
$carrierInstances = Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getAllCarriers();
$carriers['custom'] = Mage::helper('sales')->__('Custom Value');
foreach ($carrierInstances as $code => $carrier) {
    if ($carrier->isTrackingAvailable()) {
        $carriers[$code] = $carrier->getConfigData('title');
    }
}
