How do I stop certain websites accessing my site?

[webmaster1]

Hi All,

 

Ever since I've installed Google Analytics my flash content won't load. I deleted the account and javascript code snippet for tracking but the content still won't load.

 

Is there any way using PHP to block Analytics from affecting my site?

Blocking GA will not fix your problem.  Also btw, the GA code/server does not make any kind of request to your server.  It's the other way around.  You put the GA javascript on your site.  It has nothing to do with your server.  You put the javascript on your page, your server serves the page to the client (the user going to your website).  That page contains the javascript.  As far as your server is concerned, the javascript is plain text.  Javascript gets parsed on the client's computer, via their browser, not on your server.  The javascript, on the client's computer, makes a request to the GA server, and the GA server responds to the client.  At no point in time is your server involved in any of that process.

 

Neither your google analytics account nor the javascript you put on the page in and of itself is responsible for your flash content not working.  You probably think it's GA's fault, since your flash content was working before, and it stopped working when you put GA on it, right?  This was not the GA script's fault.  Whoever installed the GA script must have accidentally deleted or otherwise altered your flash content code.
