> The banned.txt file is simple a list of IPs, one per line, as follows:
>
> 82.207.17.160
> 84.235.100.2
> 87.118.106.177
> 193.69.180.120
> 84.244.7.168
>

Theres no need to search a whole list .

Convert e.g. 127.0.0.1 to 127_0_0_1

$poop=str_replace(".","_",$poop);


www.yourdomain.com/banned/127_0_0_1


- grab the live ip address as e.g. $demo


$pass=1;

$filename="banned/$demo";

if (!file_exists($filename)) {$pass=0;}

if ($pass==0) {exit();}


In effect , You could have 10,000 banned ip addresses and the above
method would only do a single look up search instead of searching a
10,000 list of ip addresses .
