I'm trying to create a "banned" list, and if their IP appears in the list, they won't be allowed.

I'm basically setting up futallaby because I fail at setting up serissa and Wakaba on a free server.^^;

Code:

$badip = array("addr1\\.dummy\\.com","addr2\\.dummy\\.com"); //Refused hosts (IP bans)

That's the function that appears in the imgboard.php file
What do I need to change it to get it to read from a .txt or database file or whatever. Please go into detail about the database, as I'd like that a little better, but the .txt file is also good.

$handle = fopen('filename.txt','r');  
$thisisthelist = fread($handle,9000);  
fclose($handle);  
$badip = explode($thisisthelist,"\n");

I would like to expand on this.

Code:

$handle = fopen('filename.txt','r'); $thisisthelist = fread($handle,9000); fclose($handle); $badip = explode($thisisthelist,"\n"); Could probably go as $handle = fopen('filename.txt','r'); $thisisthelist = fread($handle, filesize('filename.txt')); fclose($handle); $badip = explode($thisisthelist,"\n"); $banned = false; while (list ($key, $val) = each ($badip)) { if($val == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) { $banned = true; } } if($banned) { #do bad stuff }

This actualy cycles trough the list, checks to see if the ip is there.
