$remoteIP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $parts = explode('.', $remoteIP); // Get IP bytes in an array $isPrivateIP = false; /* single class A */ $classA = $parts[0] == 10; /* 16 contiguous class Bs */ $classB = $parts[0] == 172 && $parts[1] >= 16 && $parts[1] <= 31; /* 256 contiguous class Cs */ $classC = $parts[0] == 192 && $parts[1] == 168; If ($classA || $classB || $classC || $remoteIP == '127.0.0.1') { $isPrivateIP = true; } I would include the three tests inline (class A, B, C) inside the "if" condition to get some performance benefit for short circuit boolean evaluation (meaning that once one condition is true, the parser will stop checking the others).
