gerkintrigg Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Is there a PHP method to only allow people to access it who come from one country? How'd I do that? are there third party scripts to allow me to do so? Does it need to be linked to an IP database?

aebstract Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does it need to be linked to an IP database? From what I've read/seen, yes. You need to get their IP and match it to an IP/country database.

Psycho Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Here's one place to start. I can't speak to the quality of the list though: http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193824-limiting-a-scripts-access-to-only-visitors-from-a-particular-country/#findComment-1020128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl5501 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It does need an IP database, and is fairly, but not 100% accurate. I know someone with such a sytem. I will get a url for you.

jl5501 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Have a look at http://www.wordpresssecured.com/BadBot-Killer/apanel/login.php admin/admin There is more there than a country blocker but have a look anyhow Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193824-limiting-a-scripts-access-to-only-visitors-from-a-particular-country/#findComment-1020133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
