| Interesting problem. If you want to go all crazy with fseek, here is my solution:
Just make sure that your .htaccess has a new line after for it to work properly.
Otherwise, I'd use file and put it before the last line, but you're opening the file twice and rewriting the entire file with this approach:
I think the second one may be a little bit more robust, but they both should work.

| Sorry about double posting, but I thought of another solution based on the second one when I went to bed which will be less problematic than the two I gave above:
This will be a bit ineffecient, but since it is a .htaccess file, effeciency doesn't really matter too much. This will write your 'deny from x.x.x.x' right before the line. So there are no magic numbers to deal with unlike the implementation I gave in the previous post.

| I'd suggest a different method altogether. Instead of editing .htaccess every time, have your PHP script create a file named after each IP address you want to ban, then use mod_rewrite in .htaccess to detect the file and deny access.
