Blocking IP addresses

[primefalcon]

I'm trying to set it up so I can block certain ip addresses from submitting on a form I have:this is the code

<?php/*List of banned ip addresses*/$banned  = array("##.##.##.##","##.##.##.##","##.##.##.##");/*current user ip lookup/*$userip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];/*comparing users ip to banned list*/if($userip == $banned[""]){ 	echo "<br/><br/><center>You have been banned from submitting entries</center>";	exit(); }?>

I cant seem to get this thing working right

The value $banned[""] is a specific value, it does not search through the array. If you want to check if the IP is in the array, use this:

if(in_array($userip, $banned)){

Also, one of the ending comments is incorrect, you are commenting out the $userip = line.
