Please help with an IP-Banner I made.

[m37h0d]

Hello. I've made an IP banner. What I'm doing is just running:

checkban(); in each page. However, if they are banned it's just showing it at the top of the page like this:

For my layout I am including my header and footer if that helps.

This is my IPbanner code that I made.

<?
function checkban()
{
$curip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
 mysql_connect("localhost","brayden_cf","puma");
 mysql_select_db("brayden_cf");

  $select_ip = ("SELECT * FROM ipaccess WHERE ip='$curip'");
  $vers = mysql_query($select_ip);
  $row = mysql_fetch_array($vers);

  if ($row){
echo "The IP ".$row['ip']." is banned from this website.  Please contact [email][e-mail][/email] if you think this is an error!";
exit;
}
exit;
}
?>

I thought the exit's would make it just a blank page with the echo, but it doesnt. I have checkban(); at the top of the page.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Method.

if ($row){
die( "The IP ".$row['ip']." is banned from this website. Please contact [e-mail] if you think this is an error!");
}

Make the test above get done before any other output.
"exit" spits an output created so far.
