There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this. One is:
if (strpos($REMOTE_ADDR,"150.200.250.") !== false) {
//do whatever
}
You have to be careful with strpos()...note the !== operator which is
required because strpos() can return an integer 0 meaning "I found your
string at position 0", or it can return a boolean FALSE indicating "I
didn't find your string at all". If you don't use the extra = then you
won't know the difference between those two cases, since an integer 0 is
implicitly converted to boolean FALSE if you aren't also checking for
variable type. This will especially cause a problem in your case, because
the string you are searching for will ALWAYS be found at position 0 if it's
found at all. BTW, I include the trailing period so that you don't
accidentally match an ip such as "208.150.200.250"
The second way is to use a regular expression:
if (ereg("^150\.200\.250",$REMOTE_ADDR)) {
//do whatever
}
The trailing period isn't necessary here because I'm using the ^ symbol
which anchors the match to the beginning of the string.
To me the second example is more intuitive but is probably less efficient
in terms of execution time...
