Avoid to access page from external network?

Question

I have created some php pages which show data from some excel files.

I access those pages using internal IP address at the office where all PC's are connected on the same network. I access those pages from my home using external IP address.

So my question is, how do I put a password or protect my php page access from external network?

i.e. When I access php webpage from my home, it should ask for a password - how do I accomplish this?

eg: hello.php

<?php
    echo"hello world";
?>

I want to put password to this php file or if I access it using external ip address then it should ask for password.

actully i did that...but it is for internal ip address... i dnt want to put pwd to internal network but want to put for external n\w — user3392977, Mar 27 '14 at 12:46

Just define your IP available in your office, then block others.

$white_list = array('8.8.8.8', '1.1.1.1');

if (! in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $white_list))
{
    header('Location: mypasswordpage.php');
}

Use an htaccess to dispatch all your requests to your index.php file. Or, create a "check_access.php" file, and include it in every files you use. – Vincent Decaux Mar 27 '14 at 14:58

If you want to do this in PHP you could use:

if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != [YOUR OFFICE IP HERE]) {
    // die or throw an exception
}

There are also plenty of security components. See the major frameworks:

Symfony

Zend 2

You can also configure apache to knock back requests based on IP. See this SO answer
