Blocking countries via IP addresses

This is for a site that does not use PHPNUKE, but just PHP and with a database. We are looking for a solution to block an entire country using the IP address.

Thanks,

Does it use Apache? If so, the code is the same in .htaccess. You can block by IP and/or domain name. For instance, to block all of Turkey, by domains that use the .tr as the tld, just add deny from .tr . To block by ranges, you will need to calculate the CIDR and enter each range in, if there is more than one. For instance, if country abc had an IP range of 4.43.114.8 - 4.43.114.15, you would enter deny from 4.43.114.8/29
