BAN IP RANGE PHP SCRIPT (basic version)

Hello, I try to ban the following IP RANGES from my [login to view URL] page but they still enter my webpage. Those IPS are still tracked by statcounter (personal counteR) even when added at the end of my [login to view URL] page despite that the code below is at the TOP of the web page. Also, I need you to adjust the script below so I can define different redirection URLS for different IP ranges in same PHP code below. I will pay $30 for this easy job + great feedback if it works. Script to edit/modify: ----------------- <?php ob_start(); /* edit the $ip_range bellow to add or remove IP ranges you want to ban. If you want to ban IP ranges (1 to 3rd digit of IPv4 format prepend last digit with a dot) All array values must be enclosed in single quotes and separated by comma */ $ip_range = array('173.239.', '205.185.', '216.151.', '209.197.'); /* Edit bellow the URL where the banned visitor will be redirected. Values must be enclosed in single or double quotes */ $redirect_uri = '[login to view URL]'; /* Functionality bellow */ foreach ($ip_range as $key => $value) { if (strstr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $value)) { header('Location:' . $redirect_uri); } } ob_end_flush(); ?> ----------------- I look foward to hearing from you! Thanks Note: I don't need any admin area or whatever. I will edit the code myself from the [login to view URL] file.
