[MOD]Prevent certain countries to register

If you have a website aimed at only 1 country and receive a lot of spammers from other countries then you can prevent them registering with this mod.

Or just block unwanted countries.

In this example I use XX for the country codes so I cannot offend any countries by listing them here.
Replace XX for the desired country to block.

Open register.php and find around line 86
Code Download source  



   if (!preg_match("/^[-0-9A-Z_\.]{1,50}@([-0-9A-Z_\.]+\.){1,50}([0-9A-Z]){2,4}$/i", $email)) {

      $error .= $locale['406']."
\n";

   }


Insert directly below this code.
Code Download source  



// block unwanted countries. See Wipmania.com for country list. Mod by Wanabo.

if (getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR)) {$trueip = getenv(HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR);} else {$trueip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);}

$blockcountry = array("XX","XX","XX");

$country = file_get_contents("http://api.wipmania.com/".$trueip."?".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."");

if ($country == in_array($country,$blockcountry)) {$error .= $locale['406']."
\n";}

// end country mod


Improvements of this code is welcome.
Cool

But in htaccess, you prevent them from viewing your site as well.
Besides ip ranges change now and then, wipmania.com keeps them updated for you. Smile
