If you will use this scripts for redirect users to other page of your site, think about that the Google BOTS are also “users” and also they will be redirected, and in that way, your site will not be indexed in Google and you will have got an unbelevable big “trafic” to your site, because they will index sites that not exacts!

One more thing. If a country is disallowed / redirected, can a specific IP be allowed from that country?

I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the code I need to put at line 503 for this.

Thanks!

Can this script be shortened so as to block only 1 country. It is 25k in size, so this is why for 1 country it could be only a few kb.

Thank, It wokrs great!

“Seb”, look for the line #368
1) return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAMES[$country_id]; //if you want the contry’s name
2) return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODES[$country_id]; //if you want the contry’s code

If you have your script, just write:
include(“country-redirect.php”);
and the script will write the code or the name of the country, but if you want something else, just replace the line #503 (echo $country;) with something other.

it’s not as good as 12script’s Power Redirector, but free, thanks

Go to line 503 of “country-redirect.php” and replace “echo $country;” with:
if($country == 'UK') { header('Location: http://example.co.uk'); exit(); } else if($country == 'US') { header('Location: http://example.com'); exit(); }

That should work – although I haven’t used this script in quite a while.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for your script. It’s working like a charm!
I would like to redirect only UK and US visitors to different pages. The rest of them should continue with the current page.

What exactly should I add in the code?

Cheers,
Seb

@Sam: It is possible. Creating automatic subdomains would be quite difficult though.

@Dan: If you read under “more information” you would have noticed that I wrote that I hardly programmed any of this. It’s a compilation of classes. If you’d like to improve the code and documentation for this free script, go ahead. The other users would likely appreciate it.

I would just like to mention that although I give you kudos for effort, your code is very sloppy and no commenting or documentation. Very poor implementation of your work sir.
