{
        include('banip.php'); 
	foreach ($ipaddress as $ban_ip)
	{
		if (preg_match("/^$ban_ip/", $ip_address)) 
		{
			//header('location: http://somewhere.com');
                       // or anything you want!
			die();
		}
	}

}


banip.php
$ipaddress[]='123.';   // ban all start from 123.
$ipaddress[]='123.123.'; // ban all start from 123.123
$ipaddress[]='123.123.123.'; // ban all start from 123.123.123
$ipaddress[]='123.123.123.123'; // ban 123.123.123.123

Code (markup):

 

You could just deny them using .htaccess and you won't have to use PHP.

 

But it's not the .htaccess forum!

Some people can't use htaccess as well.

-the mole

 

$ipaddress[]='123.'; // ban all start from 123.
$ipaddress[]='123.123.'; // ban all start from 123.123

complicated at first. i wrote a vb program for a port scanner starting from certain IP's. This will be like 100 lines of code or I would code it for you =) unless your willing to pay.

 

Oh I know that, but maybe they weren't aware they could do it with the .htaccess file.

If you are using PHP you should check $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] for the IP address of the person viewing the page.
