There was a small error in the code that i used in the Tutorial. This has now been fixed. Thanks to Mark for letting me know.

If anyone had tried this without getting the result, i advice to try this new updated code.

There is also a shorter way:

Code:

<?php 

// The ip addresses to be banned separated by |
$ban = "34.43.97.31|86.53.73.27|41.107.14.621";

// Store current user's IP in a variable
$visitor = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// Split the IPs using |
$list = explode("|", $ban);
if(in_array($visitor, $list)) {
   die("You are banned from this site");
}

?>

Also note, that this wont always work. Not because your code is wrong, but some people have a dynamic IP so it wont always be the same. Another case of when it wont work is if the user is using a Proxy.
