Redirecting if IP address does not match

[netfrugal]

I'm testing redirects if ip addresses aren't matching:

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != "192.168.1.1"){ header("Location: http://www.somesite.com"); exit; }

How do I put multiple ip addresses in there without making it too long.

I tried doing it this way, and it works, but it's way too long, and I'm sure there's a better way. Especially if I have many ip's.

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != "192.168.1.2" || $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != "192.168.1.1"){ header("Location: http://www.somesite.com"); exit; }

Use an array with [man]in_array/man, e.g.,

if (in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array("192.168.1.2", "192.168.1.1")) {
    header("Location: http://www.somesite.com");
    exit;
}

I would create a table of IP addresses that are valid. Query them, return the results as an array and then do as laserlight suggested, use the in_array() function to see if the IP is valid. If not , redirect it.

If you want to store them in a database, then you might as well do a SELECT ... WHERE ip='$ip', and thus not need to do another search with in_array().
