Hi all,
We are having serious problem with scammers on our website
To avoid this, we would like not to allow some countries to access our site.
Is that possible ? how ? It is really precise ? I mean it's there any risk
that we miss some clients due to the limitation ?
Please help
Bob
Off the top you can check out a recipe written for pmWiki that builds
website statics. One is statistics by countries.
You can see what it looks like by going to my website and select 'Site
Statistics' at the bottom of the left menu margin at
http://weconsultants.phpnet.us
The recipe is called TotalCounter:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/TotalCounter
You can get the code here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/uploads...talcounter.php
The code lines you will be interested in are:
// find location
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'] != ''){
if (strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], ', ')){
$ips = explode(', ', $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
$thehost = $ips[0];
}else{
$thehost = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
}
}else{
if (strstr($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'], ', ')){
$ips = explode(', ', $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']);
$thehost = $ips[0];
}else{
$thehost = $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'];
}
}
if (preg_match("/[^\.0-9]+$/", $thehost, $matches) != 0) $loc =
$matches[0];
if ($loc != ''){
$tc_location = $loc;
}else{
if ($TotalCounterEnableLookup == 1){
$thehost =
@gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
if (preg_match("/[^\.0-9]+$/", $thehost, $matches) != 0) $loc =
$matches[0];
if ($loc != ''){
$tc_location = $loc;
}else{
$tc_location = 'Unknown';
EMailForm('Location', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
}
}else{
$tc_location = 'Unknown';
EMailForm('Location', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
}
}
if ($tc_location != 'Unknown'){
$tc_location =strtolower($tc_location);
EMailForm('Location', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
}
}
There is also a table of countries:
