: .htaccess: allow from - using dynamic IP - defining the static portion of my IP? I'm looking to secure my phpMyAdmin dir from being accessed from other IPs than my own, albeit dynamic IP,

I'm looking to secure my phpMyAdmin dir from being accessed from other IPs than my own, albeit dynamic IP, let's say it is 191.164.1.xxx (xxx = being dynamic numbers).

Referring to the Apache directive allow from in .htaccess files, can I define only the first static numbers in order to allow anything starting with the defined IP numbers and let it accept any numbers in the same fashion a wildcard works in other contexts?

E.g. would would something like this work? : allow from 191.164.1.
