is it possible to show someone a specific url depending on their IP address? just out of curiosity wanted it to show all site admins a specific link without having any kind of login of sort... if anyone knows this could they please give me some code im sure its simple enough..

Thanks

Just have PHP find their IP address and use if statements, but it is a really bad idea to do this. IP addresses frequently change (especially for DSL users) and they can be spoofed. There is a reason that no one else does it, and that is because it is really bad security. Don't do it.

lol thnks for that but it really wouldent make no difference if anyone else gets to see it because it would only take you to a login page... just wanted it to show me the url to the login page for my news edit page and unless they have the password and login id they cant get in... just saves me havin to type in the the annoying url all the time its not really a security issue in this case.

Then its not dangerous, just dysfunctional since your IP changes.

What type of connection do you have? Some connections have dedicated IPs.

My ISP is dynamic, and very much so as I discovered when I found myself firewalled from my own servers despite having a range defined in iptables. I had to open the range up much wider than I would like due to the large block of IPs that they quite frequently cycle me through.

However when I'm in my shell I can connect via lynx from a dedicated IP. ;)

I put it as a range ip so it should always stay active... some users may see the links but as i said not dangerous thanks for the quick replies.
