I need to ban a certain person from accessing the bands site, due to her stalker like behaviour among other things. I'm guessing I need her IP to do it, then its somethin in notepad saved as something else. How do I get an IP? And if its on 56k as the ip changes each time, is there a way to get around this? Thanks.
if they have are on 56k then there is no way to block it as the ip changes all the time. In PHP to get the ipaddress you can use PHP: $ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
If the server is running a *nix varient and you have r/w access to the /etc/hosts.deny file, you could add her IP address to that. If she's on a small ma & pa ISP, you could even add her whole IP block to your deny list.
Right, as far as I know, the server isn't of a *nix varient. And she's on 56k, which is why I suspected it wouldn't be possible. Thanks for the info.
Dial up users just get any free IP address from a pool at the ISP. Maybe you can tell her to stop or get broadband?
