##Usage

To download Click Here and unzip the file, and paste all files within the dist directory, in the directory of your choosing.

In order to utilize this class. Simply create an array of 2-letter country codes, and pass the array to the class with your IPInfoDB API Key and a path to the IPInfoDB Library (Optional: Only if changed!)

Example:

<?php

require_once "country-block.inc.php";

// Block Canada, United States, and Congo
$countries = array("CA","US","CG");

// Api Key
$api_key = "INSERT-API-KEY-HERE";

// path optional
// $path = "/extras/inc/";
// pass to class as third paramater if required.

// return true if someone has been blocked. false if not
$countryBlock = new countryBlock($countries, $api_key);

if($countryBlock->isBlocked === true) { // returned true
  // do whatever
  // you can redirect them to a "You are blocked" page, or simply provide a access denied page.
}
else {
  // do whatever
  // the user is free to use your website...
}

?>

You could essentially put that code into a sort-of-like check.php page, make it the directory index, and then sent all unblocked requests to the index page. It's completely up to you.

See the examples directory for more examples.
