Ban IPs

[carlis]

I am afraid the /ban command does not ban very well, because users can close and restart again the chat. It would be very good the IP ban, so the user, if he wants to enter again, must be change his IP number, which is not easy.

Any idea to ban IPs?

I have the same question. I need to ban by ip.

If you have MySQL access, which I do, it's easy to do two things as well. I have a simple php page, ip2.php, and the useage is ip2.php?=ip=(IP number):

$ip= str_replace(" ", "", $ip);
$db = @mysql_connect("server", "db", "password");
mysql_select_db("table",$db);
$query="SELECT * FROM ip WHERE ip='$ip'";
$resultz = mysql_query( $query, $db );
$num_rowsz = mysql_num_rows($resultz);
if (empty($num_rowsz)) {
$q1 = " INSERT INTO ip (ip) VALUES ('$ip')";
mysql_query($q1) or die("$q1 failed because ".mysql_error());
}


the index.php i use then reads the database, before anything else, and if it finds the IP number, simply exits - or redirects ..

$query="SELECT * FROM ip where ip = '$ip'";
$resultz = mysql_query( $query, $db );
$num_rowsz = mysql_num_rows($resultz);
if ($num_rowsz) {
include "oops.php";
exit;
} else {
include "query.php";
}
