Re: RE: How do I ban an ip address please!

I would say the easiest way to do is this: 1.) a table with IP's only 2.) SELECT * FROM banned_ips WHERE ip='$REMOTE_ADDR'; 3.) if(@mysql_num_rows($result)) Another way is to use a more efficient if(in_array($banned_ips)) Finally, remember that AOL uses LARGE proxies meaning that thousands of users appear to be coming from ONE ip address - you could inadvertantly ban a couple thousand innocent souls. --Joe On Fri, Nov 24, 2000 at 01:02:30PM +1030, Nold, Mark wrote: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------------- > Disclaimer: The information contained in this email is intended only for the > use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may be confidential or > contain legally privileged information.
