Bug #55472 [Asn]: ip2long(integer) returns integer

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55472&edit=1 ID: 55472 User updated by: php at linuxhosted dot ca Reported by: php at linuxhosted dot ca Summary: ip2long(integer) returns integer Status: Assigned Type: Bug Package: *Network Functions Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.7 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Maybe you better take another look, and another read through the comments. PHP 5.3 implemented these functions on windows: look in win32/inet.c Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 16:31:18] pajoye@php.net There is no such function in Windows below Vista or Windows 7. So no, there is no bug here but maybe in the WSAStringToAddress function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 16:28:56] php at linuxhosted dot ca As we've been saying, the fact that this function uses a Windows specific api is the bug. It should be using inet_ntop/pton like every other OS does. Also, you say that "26" is a valid IP, which is totally wrong, the function considers 26 to be "0.0.0.26", when if it was taking it as a valid ip, it would mean that its "26.0.0.0, take for example, long2ip(ip2long("10.200")); this becomes 10.0.0.200, instead of what it should be, 10.200.0.0. Also, it makes no sense for a function that is not OS specific to have different results on different platforms, PHP is supposed to be multi-platform, so except for functions that are meant to be platform specific , functions shouldn't be giving a totally different result on different platforms, it just makes no sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 16:16:53] pajoye@php.net It is as it can be considered as valid IP and it is what happens on Windows, using the underlying equivalent API. That being said, I will double check again with the inent team at msft to be sure that there is no bug in the API itself. assigned to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 16:09:32] php at linuxhosted dot ca pajoye, this is not a documentation bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-23 15:10:29] php at linuxhosted dot ca As kalle has said, this is not a documentation bug. The inet_ntop() and inet_pton() functions have existed on Windows since 5.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
