IP Domain Blocking?

[Anon]

I am trying to find out if there is a way to BLOCK certian IP Domain's from entering a website - Is there a way to do this?
Can someone help me to locate tools on helping with this kind of programming?
I heard I could do it with PHP, but have not found HOW?

Thanks for your assistance.

you can use, $PHP_HOST which will return the host of the user accessing the page. and if its the one which you dont like, just display them error message.

You can also use the .htaccess file to restrict from certain ip or domain ranges. Create a file named .htaccess in the directory you want to restrict (your document_root if you want to restrict certain people from getting there at all) and enter something like the following..

<LIMIT GET>
order allow, deny
allow from all
deny from 208.25.212.
deny from 201.24.
etc. etc.
</LIMIT>

All done. Hope that helps!
