[PHP] serverside restrictions

[Liam MacKenzie]

Hi guys,

I have a function:

 $substring = substr($REMOTE_ADDR,0,9);
 if ($substring != '192.168.0') {
  echo "Access Denied";
  exit;
 }


If the user isn't from the local network, he's not allowed in.

This works fine, but is there a way to get apache to do it for me instead?
Like, this for example...

<Location /server-info>
    SetHandler server-info
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.0.0
</Location>

Is it possible to have apache do this for a Vhost?  like this...

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /home/admin
ServerName admin.blabla.net
ErrorLog /home/logs/error.admin.net.log
CustomLog /home/logs/access.admin.net.log common
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
<Location /home/admin>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.0.0
</Location>
</VirtualHost>


See what I'm trying to do?
i've had a big fiddle, can't get it to work.  Anyone got any ideas?


Cheers,
Liam

P.S.  I know it's got to do with Apache mostly, but it kinda has some relation to 
PHP...  ;-)
