Developer access, protect apps in development from public view

Thanks for this! Nice to see some more PHP utilities, especially for those of us still stuck supporting/developing in it due to company policies or hosting environment restrictions. I forget how spoiled I am with Python/Ruby OSS contributions when I drop back down to PHP for something.

Your welcome) and Thank you) I have a developer access in python planned as well, but thats for way later in the future.

I built this because I needed a way to lock down who has access to my startup projects. Then I decided to release it because I figured others would probably benefit from being able to do the same. Enjoy and please contribute any feedback or bug fixed.

I'm not clear on how this adds anything that you wouldn't get in the web server layer (e.g. mod_access) or by using a firewall.

This just adds another layer of security on top of your application. Sure you can use mod_access instead or alongside this system.

Some developers on shared hosting servers don't have the option to change apache/httpd server settings.

This is just a tool for those who find it useful in there situation. I personally wrote it because I needed another layer of security.
