restrict codeigniter admin panel ip address

Question

Answer 1

An alternative to using .htaccess, you can also restrict the access from PHP (although .htaccess solution is more robust):

$your_ip_address='123.123.123.123'; //change it to yours
if (!isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) || $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != $your_ip_address) {
   exit();
}

Locate the index.php in the webroot folder, add the above codes to the top of the file.

Hope this helps.
