Author Array problem

Hi all. I'm making a counter for my webpage, and I thought it would be
neat if it wouldn't count my own page requests. So I wrote this code below:

// Don't count requests from these addresses ('*' is permitted)
$exclude_ip = array(
'213.114.222.215',
'213.114.222.216',
'123.123.123.*'
);

// Get user IP
$user_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

// Make a flag
$exclude_user = 0;

// For each IP in the array
foreach($exclude_ip as $ip)
{
// If a wildcard is found
if (strpos($ip, '*') > 0)
{
// Get position for wildcard
$w_pos = strpos($ip, '*');

// Shorten the compare strings to the wildcard position
$ip = substr($ip, 0, $w_pos - 1);
$user_ip = substr($user_ip, 0, $w_pos - 1);
}

// If an excluded IP is found
if ($ip == $user_ip) $exclude_user = 1;
break;
}

My current IP is 213.114.222.216, but the flag $exclude_user is still 0.
I hope someone can spot the error.

I had the same idea and came up with a script that you might find
interesting. You can download the complete code at

Thanks deko. I'll have a look at your code. I found the problem now. Had
just worked on it for too long... :-)
