ban user access

[ijunk]

hi,
i'm very much a php newbie, and i hope someone can help me with this probelm.

i'm using a variant of php nuke, and i'm trying to get some code to enable me to ban specific usernames.

how can i write a small piece of code that would help me do this.
what i'm trying to do is something like this:

if username='john_doe','jane_doe','joe_soap'
then go to banneduser.htm

thanks in advance for any help.

I personally would keep the listed of banned user names on a database table but.

if ($username =='john_doe' || $username =='jane_doe' ||  $username =='joe_soap') 
{
header("Location: banneduser.htm") ;
}

thanks for the quick reply, the code works perfect.

thanks so much for your help!

you might concider storing the banned users into a database... or even identify their IP/ISP Info to ban that instead of user name...

Your First Idea Bunkermaster is good, but never ban IP's. I because Dial Up is still a major Internet Source, which a person with Dial Up can have there IP change....
