While PHP is pretty cool, why not leave security to things actually designed for security? Create a .htaccess file and put...

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where xxx = the IPs you want to allow

There are ways to whitelist IP's from inside your webhost cPanel.. If you wanted to do this with PHP, you would need to add this before anything else initiates in your PHP.

$whitelist = array('192.0.0.1', '192.0.0.2', etc);
if(!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $whitelist)){
    header('location:http://google.com');
}

You have to use the $_SERVER global variable, like this:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '127.0.0.1') {
  // restrict
}

Good alternative is the session filter: http://php.net/manual/en/session.examples.basic.php

You can also use cookies: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php
