Hi,

The way I got the IP address of the guy that was annoying me was to get him to fill in a php form that got his IP. I had a PHP message board and everytime someone signs it I get their IP. I setup an email form to send the msg board data to my inbox everytime someone posted a msg.

The bit of PHP in the email form was:

$REMOTE_ADDR

If you can get the person to use a form with that code u can get their IP. Thing is if there on dial up the IP changes everytime they redial.
I blocked my guy using htaccess - he was on DSL and his IP remained the same all the time, so he couldnt get back on my site… never heard from him again after that… hehe

Hope that helps you out,

Cheers :slight_smile:

the problem is that i donot have a php mail forum. im using a html one. Its on my site, www.alexsdesigns.net. under the contact page. He emailed me through that form.

thanks for helping:)

create an access log that logs the ip+time… see when the email was sent and ban the IP’s in the time range :beam:

If your servers supported php i could’ve given you the script i made for myself :slight_smile:

probably too late but…

here’s all that you need to ban ip’s via an htaccess file. Simply
put this in and place the htaccess file at the root of your domain
on the server:

<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from 111.11.11.11
deny from 212.138.47.11
deny from 212.138.47.29
deny from 212.138.47.12
deny from 212.138.47.17
deny from 212.138.47.27
</Limit>

simply list the ip’s you wish to ban with “deny from” (no quotes).
Hope this helps…

p.s. your server needs to support htaccess, of course :wink:

If its an email you can set up your email client so that is shows you full headers…was the email from an email form on your site or from that persons email client?
