Hi, I have a few wordpress websites that I host for my clients because of the number of attacks they have been receiving lately I have implemented a .htaccess file to block any ip address that's not in the whitelist, the problem I face is everytime the client moves from location to location or there ip address changes I have to update the .htaccess file with there new ip. I'm trying to build a script where they can access a url with a key in and submit there new ip address the php script would then read the .htaccess and add the new ip, however the 'echos' in the file seem not to be echoing any information to screen and I'm faced with a blank white screen can anyone give me any ideas on how to do this or have alook at the script below I have wrote. <?php if (isset($_GET('key')) && $_GET('key') = '78J89ke93k93HJ883j003') { $htaccess = '.htaccess'; //read the entire file $str = file_get_contents($htaccess); //delete deny from all from file $str = str_replace('deny from all', '', $str); $ip = 'allow from ' . $_get('ip'); //'allow from 92.27.111.112'; $str .= $ip; //re add deny from all to end of file $str .= "\n" . 'deny from all'; if(file_put_contents($htaccess, $str)){ echo 'IP ' . $ip . ' Added to .htaccess file'; } } else { echo 'Invalid Key'; } ?>

this is tricky to explain: I have a raw php script, written by someone else, that sends an email to a list extracted from a CSV file. It requires that certain values in the file be manually edited each time it's used, such as the following: $mail->setFrom('email@email.com', 'From Name'); // <==== change email address, From Name $subject = "Subject Line"; // <==== Adjust this subject $html = ' html here '; // <==== include email html MagicParser_parse("test.csv","myRecordHandler","csv|44|1|34"); // <==== change 'test.csv' file name the function is called by simply calling this email.php file in the browser. I'd like to build a form that would a) edit these values/strings on the fly and then b) call the file in the browser. The thing is, it's been a while since I've messed with PHP forms to any extent, and I can't remember how to get started on something like this. And I'm not familiar at all with fopen and fwrite to edit strings like this without messing up the existing code (there's a lot of other code in the file that needs to be left alone, obviously). I'm hoping someone can help me with a starting point - an idea on how to get this thing going - whether to build the form right in the same file or to build one in another file that posts these values to this existing file... hopefully someone can understand what I'm asking, and thank you much for your help. regards, glenn
