Implementation of the script

• Open the file botsec.php and amend the array $agentsToDeny in the script with your own search-bots you want to deny
• Also change the $redirectLocation variable to a location you want the bots to be redirected to if needed
• Upload or place the script to your webserver where your root or main index.php file (or any other script you want the function to apply) is.
• Inlcude the botsec.php file like so:

<?php
    require("botsec.php");
?>

• That’s it. Every request to the website including the botsec.php script from a user-agent which is in the $agentsToDeny array is now beeing redirected to the URL stated in the $redirectLocation variable

You can test the botsec.php script with your own User-Agents like so:

1. Copy the files to a directory of your choice
2. Amend the User-Agents array $agentsToDeny in <?= $botsecScript ?> with you own
3. Goto the directory containing the files in a terminal
4. Execute “php -S 127.0.0.1:8888” in the terminal
5. Open the address “127.0.0.1:8888” with your Webbrowser of choice
6. Now you should see the success message
7. With Google Chrome you can amend the User-Agent for the Request like so
   1. Open the developer console of Google Chrome with CMD+Option+J
   2. In the developer console click the three dots in the upper right corner
   3. Click on “More Tools” > “Network Conditions”
