Simple access control using Htaccess.

> This library is currently under development. Things will change!

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require jpkleemans/htaccess-firewall:dev-master
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, create an instance of the `HtaccessFirewall\HtaccessFirewall` class:

```
$firewall = new HtaccessFirewall('path/to/.htaccess');
```

### Block IP

[](#block-ip)

```
$host = IP::fromString('123.0.0.1');

$firewall->deny($host);
```

### Unblock IP

[](#unblock-ip)

```
$host = IP::fromString('123.0.0.1');

$firewall->undeny($host);
```

### Get all denied hosts

[](#get-all-denied-hosts)

```
$hosts = $firewall->getDenied();
```

### Deactivate firewall (comment .htaccess lines)

[](#deactivate-firewall-comment-htaccess-lines)

```
$firewall->deactivate();

// And to reactivate:
$firewall->reactivate();
```

### Set 403 message

[](#set-403-message)

```
$hosts = $firewall->set403Message('You are blocked!');

// And to remove:
$hosts = $firewall->remove403Message();
```

Use other filesystem
--------------------

[](#use-other-filesystem)

You can use another filesystem by passing it as the second argument of the `HtaccessFirewall` constructor. The filesystem must implement the `HtaccessFirewall\Filesystem\Filesystem` interface.

```
$filesystem = new YourCustomFilesystem();
$firewall = new HtaccessFirewall('path/to/.htaccess', $filesystem);
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
$ phpspec run
```
