Re: Restrict access per IP Address

be Careful using the IPAddress as a primary security measure. If the client has accessed your site through a proxy, then the IP Address shown will be the IP Address of the proxy. While you can use X_FORWARDED_FOR (or something similar,c ant remember off the top of my head :p ) to determine the requesting IP address, not all proxies support this and can be easily spoofed. IP address checking is fine as a filter, but make sure more robust methods are in place as a secondary precaution. ^^@rk << This email brought to you by RFCs 821 and 1225. >> << If I was a signature file, where would I be?? >> << if (is_function($i)) { which_one_would_i_be(); } >> Michael Stearne wrote: > > Run > <? > phpinfo(); > ?> > > on a page.
