Ban and allow IP

[John]

Hello, is it possible with PHP to ban a certain range of IPs but at the same
time allow access from one specific IP from this range? Code example?

Yes it is :

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != '123.45.67.89')
{
exit;
}

But its not the best way. The better way would be to do it using your
web server's settings. In Apache you would do something like this in
httpd.conf :

<Directory /usr/local/cgi-bin/>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 123.45.67.89
</Directory>

Or in a file called .htconfig in the directory in which you wish to
deny access :

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 123.45.67.89

(I think, I've never used Deny, Allow in .htconfig myself check out the
docs for your webserver)

Default filename for this directory configuration file is .htaccess,
though.

Lets say the IP you want to ban is 192.168.1.10. The following htaccess
code will ban this IP:

deny from 192.168.1.10

Hope you will understand this.
