Block website IP address

[sumaiya]

How can I block access to my websites from all IP addresses except one.

The application of this scenario is such that I have a website which should be accessible only from my office like a LAN application. But the website is hosted on the web thus this restriction.

I know .htaccess can do that but i tried using it cant make head and tails out of it. So would appreciate a lot if someone out there can help me.

Plus can anyone tell me where the feature is to activate an email from thescripts whn someone replies to my question. I checked the profile settings but no difference.

Thanks

Click Options under settings in the main menu under the search field at the top right.

Like the previous posts almost said ;)
You can get the IP of the visitor via the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] element.

Then you can do whatever validation on it you may need and just exit the script if it does not pass your validation, thus preventing unauthorized access.
