Bug #10681: Fix for #9698 breaks more than it fixes

From: kettler@gmx.net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (05/05/2001) PHP Bug Type: Network related Bug description: Fix for #9698 breaks more than it fixes <?php $ipaslong = ip2long("208.247.106.187"); print long2ip($ipaslong)."\n"; print bin2hex(pack("N", $ipaslong))."\n"; ?> That script run with PHP 4.0.5 prints: 208.247.106.187 d0f76abb whereas with the latest CVS version it prints: 127.255.255.255 7fffffff That makes that function completely unusable for me (and for others probably too). I have another proposal for fixing bug #9698, and that is implementing %u as a sprintf format specifier to output unsigned longs instead of signed. This way he could use the following script for his problem (should go onto the ip2long page then): <?php $ip = gethostbyname("www.php.net"); $out = sprintf("http://%u/<br>\n", ip2long($ip)); echo $out; ?> If that fix would be accepted (and the other fix rolled back), I could add %u to sprintf myself and post it here. -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10681&edit=1
