How can PHP developers effectively manage access control during maintenance mode using dynamic IP addresses or other methods?

During maintenance mode, PHP developers can effectively manage access control by allowing only specific IP addresses to access the site. This can be done by checking the visitor's IP address against a list of approved IP addresses and redirecting unauthorized users to a maintenance page. 

// Array of approved IP addresses
$approved_ips = array('192.168.1.1', '10.0.0.1');

// Get the visitor's IP address
$visitor_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

// Check if the visitor's IP is in the approved list
if(in_array($visitor_ip, $approved_ips)){
    // Allow access to the site
} else {
    // Redirect unauthorized users to maintenance page
    header("Location: maintenance_page.php");
    exit();
}
