Secure admin [MOD]

hackers can still read htaccess on a shared host, youll need to hard code it into the page itself for maximum protection.

Last time i checked you have to still manually edit htaccess, wasnt that your point.

Anyway to all the normal ppl here this is the way to do it

i think you are little bit confused oh which method is more secure my friend.

If you honestly think putting that code into a .php file is more secure than the code used in the htaccess file then your are absolutely wrong my friend.

To be honest, neither one is going to be better than the other from a security standpoint. From a server load standpoint, it is actually more work for the server if you do this using php than using htaccess.

Personally, I would do it using htaccess, mainly because I can tie it into my firewall. This way, I can block, ban, and restrict people from the firewall level, which is ultimately the best way to prevent people from doing things.
