Do you know a simple php script to throw 403, after ip check?

Question

I have a script where payment processors come with payment confirmations. To make the page secure, as it can access order information and other user related stuff, I had to limit the acces by ip(/24) as it follows:

$ipAllowed = array(
'192.192.192',
'172.172.172'
);
$ipAllowed = str_replace(".", "\.", implode("|", $ipAllowed));

if(!preg_match("/^($ipAllowed)\.[0-9]{1,3}$/", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])){
     header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
     die('You are not allowed to access this file.');
}

*the ip's are just as an example

Before i used:

if(!in_array(@$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], array('ips here'))); //only works with full ip

The !in_array was much neater then the one I use now, but i need something that works with /24 ips, or even with both!

Do you know something that works better/faster, is reliable and much neater?

@rap-2-h As you stated this is the neater version that works with full ip, /24 or even /16

$ipAllowed = array( '192.168.1.153' '172.172.172'); 
$allowed = false; 

foreach($ipAllowed as $ip): 
    if(strpos($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ip) === 0) $allowed = true; 
endforeach; 

if (!$allowed) { 
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden'); 
    die('You are not allowed to access this file.'); 
}

Answer 1

You can try something like this :

$ipAllowed = array('192.192.192', '172.172.172');

$allowed = false;
foreach($ipAllowed as $ip) {
     if (strpos($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $ip) !== false) {
         $allowed = true;
     }
}
if (!$allowed) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
    die('You are not allowed to access this file.');     
}

So you can have only ip fragment in your $ipAllowed array. It's not very elegant but it should work...

Use this function to check if you're ip is in Specified network :

eg: is 192.168.1.25 in network 192.168.1.0/24

<?php

/*
 * ip_in_range.php - Function to determine if an IP is located in a
 *                   specific range as specified via several alternative
 *                   formats.
 *
 * Network ranges can be specified as:
 * 1. Wildcard format:     1.2.3.*
 * 2. CIDR format:         1.2.3/24  OR  1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0
 * 3. Start-End IP format: 1.2.3.0-1.2.3.255
 *
 * Return value BOOLEAN : ip_in_range($ip, $range);

<?php

$ips = array(
    '192.160.0',
    '172.0.0'
);

/** 
 * Strip off the last number.
 */
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = '192.160.0.254';
$ip = preg_replace( '~\.(\d+)$~', '', $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );

if( in_array( $ip, $ips ) ) {
    var_dump( 'allowed' );
}
