[RESOLVED] Use htaccess to redirect everyone except my IP to page?

[Clarkie]

Hey everyone,

On my various website's I've tried to use the .htaccess file and one of the things I can't find how to do is redirecting everyone except me to a certain page.

Basically my IP would see whatever page but anyone else who goes to the directory would be sent to another page.

Thanks for the help.

Well, this is a PHP forum, so, to do it with PHP:

$myip="1.2.3.4";

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST']!="$myip") {
   header("location:myredirect.php");
}

But .htaccess is probably a nice idea also (for example, you wouldn't have to add the above to every page (although if you use a common included header, no big deal 😉 )

At any rate, try http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum92/167.htm for info on using .htaccess.

HTH,

Thanks that should work. It's a forum so I'll add it to the template.
