Page ip block script

Hello,
Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong here?


I downloaded the following script and tried to modify it, but It doesn't work. I am trying to figure out why I can't get it right..

On this line  -- > $bmode = 2; . The initial options were 0 or 1. I modified the following
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$blockmsg = "<br/><br/><br/><p><center>You have been Blocked for guestbook abuse.<br/> <br/><br/><a href=\"http://www.whatever.com\">Click here for more information</a></center></p>";

It was an array. I didn't like that because for every ip that I enter in it has it's own message. I want just one default message to be displayed for all the blocked ip's


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 if ($bmode == 2) {
    if ($REMOTE_ADDR == $blockip[$y] || ($brange == $blockip[$y])) {
      echo '$blockmsg';    
    } else {
      $allow="Yes";
    }
  }


What my thoughts were here was that I used the same one that the developer used for 1 but added just an echo statement to echo $blockmsg.  It won't work correctly though.. Please help.. I was hoping that I could do this myself, but I guess not..

// Mode.  If you set this to 1 then you will BLOCK IPS in the blockip array.
// If set to 0, then you will be ALLOW ONLY IP's in the blockip array.
// Addenum by Dan Kelly. If set to 2 then only primary message will show.

// $blockip = array("1.1.1.1",

// Example:
//
// $blockmsg = array("1.1.1.1 Blocked for guestbook abuse.",

//                   "3.3.3.3 We are temporarily down.",
