Description:
------------
PHP really needs functions for handling of IPv6 addresses, Like
inet6_aton inet6_ntoa, functions to expand and collapse addresses (::1,
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001, 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1), to convert to
and from v6 mapped IPv4 addresses (::FFFF:1.2.3.4). This is needed to be
able make sites future safe, to be able to store and process things like
logs, access-lists, database-storage the same way for both IPv6 and IPv4
addresses.
