Need Help With foreach preg_match

Hello there, i make this script but its not working how need to be ... hope someone can tell me what its the problem

  // ------------ Ip`s Not Allow
  $ips_class    = array(
   '66.249',
   '66.196'
  );

  foreach($ips_class as $ip_class)
  {
   echo $ip_class;
   if (!preg_match("~$ip_class~i", $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"])) {
    $ip_status = "on";

   }
  }

PHP:

 

You can use strpos replace preg_match

 

$ips_list = array('ip1', 'ip2', 'ip3');
$ip_status = "off";
if (!in_array($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $ips_list)) {
    $ip_status = "on";
}

PHP:

This is the simplest method

 

For some reason, I thought the reputation + comment thing displayed within a user's post. Regardless, follow ^ his advice. That method will be quicker on your server.
