paste this in your document, and put in your different banned ips, separated by commas. it works great!

<?php
$deny = array("65.40.108.91");
if (in_array ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $deny)) {
   echo("hello there , you have attempted to hack my login page , and have been banned permanently from my website. thank you. derek");
   
    
   exit();
} ?>

i use it on this page http://oddnerdrum.info works great.

Just remeber that most (I guess... at least alot of) internet users have dynamic IP addresses, in which case your ban would only last until they get a new one, which could be the next day.

Lizciz, since I first saw u post I always wanted to know, what are the numbers in your signature?

If you can post a thread about it, it seems interesting why you have random numbers in your signature.

maybe its an md5 of his password and username lol

btw liz is correct... plus most people manage their websites through a database so banned users should be stored a db

Telling what it means would spoil the fun of it :P But a small tip: hex

And what about the users who surfing through a proxy?

ya my security measure has flaws, but i got some other code that uses the mysql database to hold the ip address and name of person. then i made a script page to ban them by name and ip. but if they are dynamic or behind a proxy, not much i can do. well im sure there is, but its way beyond my skill level.

It's also worth noting that this would only block those IP's from your scripts; your content (photos/flash/etc) and any directory listings would still be accessible directly.

I've also explored .htaccess entries for a more complete block; however, (as several forum members have shared) this method increases your overall workload given that every request must wade through these additional lines.
