@bokehMar 18.2007 — #What country do you want to ban and why?

@m_sahalyauthorMar 18.2007 — #I want to ban all the countries except Bahrain .. because the web site is for the bahrain health ministry and they want to make the web site for their population only .

@bokehMar 18.2007 — #Geography and Nationality are not synonomous. What is gooing to happen if one of the populous is not in Bahrain when trying to access the site?

@m_sahalyauthorMar 18.2007 — #Bokeh ,

thanx alot for considering my posts .. but to your knowledge I know exactly what i'm asking for . and I just wanna check for the IP only when the user is registering himself to our web site . thus ,registeration is limited only to Bahrain people . but any one else is still able to review the site , but will not be able to register with it . and after registeration he can login to his account from any country all over the world .

Now , would you please let me know how can I achieve this . even if you found that the whole matter is not logical ?!!

Thanx

@bokehMar 18.2007 — #Maybe something like this. Bear in mind IP ranges are in flux and you would need to keep the data up to date.
