Block specific IP block from my website in PHP

Question

I\'d like, for example, block every IP from base 89.95 (89.95..). I don\'t have .htaccess files on my server, so I\'ll have to do it with PHP.

Answer 1

using revive's code, use this to get wildcard search working

// Now let's search if this IP is blackliated
$status = false;
foreach($denied_ips as $val)
{
    if (strpos($val,'*') !== false)
    {
        if(strpos($visitorIp, array_shift(explode("*", $val))) === 0)
        {
            $status = true;
            break;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if(strcmp($visitorIp, $val) === 0)
        {
            $status = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}
