PHP IP Blocking

[grandma]

Here is a simple IP Blocking prog. Keep in mind I am a newbie

<?

$blockip = array("222.394.142.8","2.2.2.2","3.3.3.3");

$x = count($blockip);

for ($y = 0; $y < $x; $y++) {

if ($REMOTE_ADDR == $blockip[$y]) {

echo ("No Way baby!");

Exit;} ELSE {

echo ("Yer ok, bud");
EXit; }

} //END FOR

?>

Is there a way I can ban a range of IP's? Like a wildcard.

192.33.43.* or 192.33.43.XX

Thanks in Advance

Sure, just depends how how you want to define the comparison between $REMOTE_ADDR and $blockip.

you need to define what those are:

192.33.43.* or 192.33.43.XX

wait just use:

int ereg ( string pattern, string string [, array regs])

"192.33.43.*" will match all IPs, even invalid IPs

"192.33.43..." will match second. I need to brush up my regular expressions.

Anyway, fiddle around with them and you should be able to get what you want.
