  • If I understand you correctly, you want to know the country of origin of the person who is viewing your website and block access to people from other countries - that's one. And number two is also identifying the indian country itself of the person. If I am right what you need to do is not solvable by a function... origin of viewer is found via ip and dns... which you can get through php alone. but you also need a service to check the ip data through and receive from it the origin information (also your two digit codes). There are free services such as MaxMind I believe. – Shlomtzion Aug 09 '21 at 17:06

Based on some research, the best way seems to be by IP. This link will help you if you go this way. https://stackoverflow.com/a/13600004/13604954

But some VPN can easily change is on IP. ref. https://nordvpn.com/blog/vpn-ip-location-changer/

So good luck!

The easiest way will be to asking the user is country and if not what you want, just show another page.
