Hi Guy,

Is there any way that I can redirect certain IP's that hit my website?

I had thought this was possible with .htaccess file but none of the tutorials I have found have said how to do it.

Many thanks,

G

bit of a roundabout way would be to use deny from and then use a custom 403 error to bounce users off.

or a php include to get the user IP ["REMOTE_ADDR"], compare it to a DB table then redirect or not.

Hey chris,

Thanks for the reply. I like the idea with the 403, it never occurred to me. I think though that the most practical way would be to use php, i have around 1000 pages in my website though all named .htm, quite a few other websites link the the .htm files so by making them all .php i would break some links and lose some traffic. I noticed some scripts out there like hit counters that call php with javascript. so the file extension can still finish .htm, I have never done this before, do you think it would work in this scenario?

You could have .htm parsed as PHP by using

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm

in your .htaccess file.

Excellent. Chris, you have truly helped me out today. Thanks!
