IP Blocker for v1.5.x

[yesaul]

Hello,

The following PHP Warnings appeared in the logs, when I tried to add the IP-address to "Blocked IP Addresses" list for the first time (using a link on "Who's Online" page)

--> PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ip_blocker_functions.php on line 167.

--> PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ip_blocker_functions.php on line 169.

I tried to understand what happened adding and removing (some and all) another IP-addresses.
I tried even to remove all lines from ip_blocker table manually and then add IP-address again.
But unfortunately (??? :-) ) the issue has not appeared again.
Probably I should try to fully remove this addon and then install it again (in order to get the same issue again), but this is not possible at the moment, sorry.

        $blocked_ip_array = unserialize($blocklist->fields['ib_blocklist']);

        $is_new_address = false;
        if (!in_array($newaddress, $blocked_ip_array)) {
            $newaddress_all = substr($newaddress, 0, strrpos($newaddress, '.')) . '*';
            if (!in_array($newaddress_all, $blocked_ip_array)) {
                $blocked_ip_array[] = $newaddress;
                $is_new_address = true;
            }
        } 

In my homble opinion (I'm definitely not a pro), something is wrong with usage of unserialize function, which can return a very diffetent typs of value

Is this plugin deprecated or has it just not been updated for 1.5.7 yet?

I find the Access Blocker (https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....Support-Thread) less intrusive/difficult so I won't be updating IP Blocker. If anyone wants to take its support over, I'll be happy to transfer the GitHub account.

Roger that. I will update the web page for IP blocker with this recommendation. I wasn't sure if it was a superset or not - thanks for confirming.
