Definition

drupal_is_denied($ip)
drupal/includes/bootstrap.inc, line 1012

Description

Check to see if an IP address has been blocked.

Blocked IP addresses are stored in the database by default. However for performance reasons we allow an override in settings.php. This allows us to avoid querying the database at this critical stage of the bootstrap if an administrative interface for IP address blocking is not required.

Parameters

$ip string IP address to check.

Return value

bool TRUE if access is denied, FALSE if access is allowed.

Code

function drupal_is_denied($ip) {
  // Because this function is called on every page request, we first check
  // for an array of IP addresses in settings.php before querying the
  // database.
  $blocked_ips = variable_get('blocked_ips', NULL);
  if (isset($blocked_ips) && is_array($blocked_ips)) {
    return in_array($ip, $blocked_ips);
  }
  else {
    return (bool)db_query("SELECT 1 FROM {blocked_ips} WHERE ip = :ip", array(':ip' => $ip))->fetchField();
  }
}
