blocking a poster

[Marjorie Roswell]

It's been a few years since I put up rawfoodwiki.org. So, a few years since I looked at the code. It's been running fine until recently, when a hacker keeps insisting on ruining my home page, no matter how many times I go back and replace it with the original content. I can see how to find the IP address, at least for the several time's he's posted. how do I block him? Will it work?

somewhere early (lib/main.php)

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '128.0.0.someip') {
$GLOBALS['request']->setStatus(403);
exit;
}

Hi,
I appreciate very much your reply! However, I must have a prior version of PHPWiki. That code doesn't exist in mine. Closest I have in the lib directory is Request.php, in code I copy below.

ah, maybe your suggesting that I ADD that code.

• Where would I add it?

• How do I add multiple IP addresses?

Sincerely,

Margie

function setStatus($status) {
    if (preg_match('|^HTTP/.*?\s(\d+)|i', $status, $m)) {
        header($status);
        $status = $m[1];
    }
    else {
        $status = (integer) $status;
        $reasons = array('200' => 'OK',
                         '302' => 'Found',
                         '400' => 'Bad Request',
                         '401' => 'Unauthorized',
                         '403' => 'Forbidden',
                         '404' => 'Not Found');
        header(sprintf("HTTP/1.0 %d %s", $status, $reason[$status]));
    }

    if (isset($this->_log_entry))
        $this->_log_entry->setStatus($status);
}
