Temporarily ban an ip address using .htaccess

Question

Is there a way to temporarily ban (only for 5-10 minutes) a certain ip address using .htaccess.

Sure, remove it after 5-10 minutes. – ceejayoz Jan 02 '13 at 21:27 — ceejayoz, Jan 02 '13 at 21:27

You'll need a cron job that updates the htaccess file on a regular interval (5-10 mins if you want).

And more importantly, a good reason to do this in an automated manner. – ceejayoz Jan 02 '13 at 21:38
Really any script would do, doesn't have to be a cron job... but the question of why one would do such a thing with `.htacess` seems like the more pressing question to me. – HopelessN00b Jan 02 '13 at 21:44
maybe he doesn't have full access to the system ? – golja Jan 02 '13 at 22:32
You can create .htaccess files through php... – Ian Jan 29 '13 at 00:32
