Welcome to WebmasterWorld leoleo,

can you get at the file?

you should be able to just fopen, fwrite, fclose

you may need to have a copy somewhere where php can get at it, edit the file and then push it to the firewall

Hello leoleo,

If you'd like to post the code you tried to use fopen and fwrite with, we'd be happy to take a look at it and point out any issues.

This is the code I use, I guess is the path wrong or something I really don't know. I am using plesk control panel and the path is http ://192.168.1.1/etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules. (I think the file cannot be run this way?).

$ip = "\r\n$REMOTE_ADDR" ;
$banip = '/etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules';
$fp = fopen($banip, "a");
$write = fputs($fp, $ip);
fclose($fp);

it doesn't works, any solution? Thanks alot

Or how can I exec the command below. I can't use exec() because of host security issue so it there another way to exe this command?

$apfDeny = "/usr/local/sbin/apf -d $REMOTE_ADDR";
