Hi

Is it possible to ban an ip address after they visit a certain page on my website. Suppose i only want people to see this page 1 time, so when they come back or refresh they see another page or they see no page (banned by ip address).

Do you want the ban to happen to the whole site, or everything in a folder including stuff in all subfolders, or only one page?
It's very easy to do with .htaccess and php, it's also possible by php only.

Answer the first question and also tell do you have htaccess support, and I will write you sample code.

Use PHP to grab the visitors IP and then write a deny line to your htaccess.

While you can deny using .htaccess it is not at all an efficient way to work as you are basing your assumption that the user has a static IP. Doing the same thing with php and cookies would definitely be a better way to go. I am adding a sample code, you can use this, modify it or get someone to make another.

Place this right at the begining of the php document:

Code:

<?php
if (!isset($_COOKIE["blockafterview"])) {

  setcookie("blockafterview", $_POST["blockafterview"]);
  setcookie("visits", 1);

  $blockipviews= 1;

} else {
  setcookie("visits", ++$_COOKIE["visits"]);

  $blockipviews= 2;
}
?>

Now use the following to perform whatever action you want:

Code:

<?php if ($blockipviews == "1") : ?>
        ADD THE CODE OR INCLUDE ANOTHER PHP FILE FOR THE ACTION FOR FIRST VISIT
<?php else : ?>
        ADD THE CODE OR REDIRECT FOR THE ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOR BLOCKING HERE
<?php endif; ?>
