Perhaps I should ask, how could I resolve an IP to a country code?
In my forum, I recently revamped my spammer IP list and wound up with
basically 50 main ip's that cover what I don't want in.
Problem is, the way it is set up, the IP block doesn't take effect until
the visitor does something, such as trying to register.
What I want to do is to check the IP from the beginning, and if it's on the
list, kick them off to another page.
I've seen a few sites that show how to do this but none show how to do it
with a wildcard scheme. With this script, using the external file would
help a lot.
Got any sites that would show how to use the wildcard scheme properly?
