First, per the (PDF) manual...

If your page starts with HTML like...

Code:

<html> <head>

Or perhaps even a <doctype> statement, then the proper place for ZB Block, is on the
first line like...

Code:

<?php include('yourdirectory/zbblock/zbblock.php'); ?><html> <head>

Restating here again, that there should be NO spaces, and NO newlines where ZB Block is added.

These will not work...

Code:

<?php include('yourdirectory/zbblock/zbblock.php'); html> <head>

This is just bad syntax and may even error the browser.

Code:

<html><?php include('yourdirectory/zbblock/zbblock.php'); ?> <head>

This will cause an error if ZB Block tries to throw it's own 403 or 503 error, as bytes have already been sent to the output buffer.

Once again, if ZB Block exits without detection, no bytes will be added before “<!
DOCTYPE” and your page will be perfect when viewed remotely.

Oh, just in the case you didn't understand, ZB Block has to be on the first line of the source. No blank lines above it. (Some people have missed this).

Also, if the page is something.htm or something.html, you will have to rename it (and re-aim your links) to something.php for ZB Block to work. As of now, there is no safe way to use a rewrite rule to attach ZB Block to other file types.

Also, from the manual...

As installed, ZB Block will work fine for most people, but a lock-out condition could
happen if you trigger the warning more than 3 times in 1 day.

So understand if you try the ?test=xtestx syntax with your browser more than 3 times, to see how it's working -and- you have not set a master password (see p3-2 of the manual), then yes you will get blocked.

Setting the master password allows you to automatically record your own IP Address into the whitelisting so you can experiment all you want w/o getting locked out.
