how to let only certain ips use scripts on my site

[devWhiz]

well I was wanting to make scripts to put on my site and then only let a few people use the site by the ip address, what would be the best way to allow only certain people to use the script on the site, based on the ip?

 

Thanks

Note, that there is no fool-proof way to do this since IP addresses can be spoofed. Plus, it may not be a good idea if your users have dynamic IP addresses from their host. Their IP address can change without warning, leaving them without access.

$allowed_ips = array('123.123.123.123', '125.125.125.125', '1.2.3.4', '11.22.33.44');
$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if(!in_array($user_ip, $allowed_ips))
{
    //User's IP not in allowed list
    echo "Go away";
    exit();
}
else
{
    //Show page
}
