I have been trying to get this all morning, I’ve checked the PHP manual, done some googling and haven’t been able to solve the problem. Here’s what I want to do. I want to have it so that I can “ban” a particular IP address, but instead of not allowing them access, give them a login page instead. Then, only people who have the password can log on from that IP.

```php

<?php

$bannedIP = 205.221.223.32;
$yourIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$enteredPass = HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];
$thePassword = password;

if($bannedIP == $yourIP && enteredPass != $thePassword) {
	echo "<html>
<body>
";
	echo "You Must Enter a Password.<br>
";
	echo "<form action="index.php">
 <b>Password:</b> <input type="text" name="password"><br>
 <input type="submit"" name="Submit">

";
	echo "</body>
</html>";
else {

```

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks 🙂

Oh and btw, after the else is the code for the main page that should be accessed if they either have the password or are coming from a different IP

EDIT: The newlines don’t seem to show up, but that’s what those random n’s scattered about are, escaped n’s (  
)
