that PHP should give you the countrycode:


if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'])) {$real_ip_adress=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];}
else if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'])) {$real_ip_adress=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];}
else {$real_ip_adress=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];}
$cip=$real_ip_adress;
$iptolocation='http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip='.$cip;
$creatorlocation=file_get_contents($iptolocation);

(Can't post URL's)

Replace GB with the country code you want to accept.

If you are using WordPress there are plug ins that allow you to block certain IP Addresses from both local, regional
and nationwide ranges.
