I have a few PHP scripts where I log hit to a page i.e. IP and
hostname via a look up.
What I want to do is create essentially a blacklist to prevent bots
and other hosts and IP from being logged and skewing my stats. My
local IP/host and the MSN and Googlebot hits should not be in my
stats or at least I can flag them to hide them.
For example:
$blacklist = array(
'*.wavefront.ca',
'*.googlebot.com',
'msnbot.msn.com',
'*.inktomisearch.com',
'68.146.96.245'
);
So lets say I have my host:
$host = 'lj602144.inktomisearch.com';
I want to quickly parse this array and return a simple boolean if I
am in the blacklist. I could create a loop and cycle through the
array valves and to a regex on each but I was hoping someone would
have a more elegant solution.
Thanks,
Dan T
