#29737 [Csd->Opn]: ip2long() works not as documented

ID: 29737 User updated by: belikoviv at is dot lg dot ua Reported By: belikoviv at is dot lg dot ua -Status: Closed +Status: Open -Bug Type: Network related +Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4; Fedora Core 2 PHP Version: 5.0.0 New Comment: Function ip2long() fixed long time ago, but now I see incorrect note in documentation (at bottom of the chapter): "Note: ip2long() will return -1 (PHP 4) or FALSE (PHP 5) for the IP 255.255.255.255" This is incorrect. ip2long returns -1 in both PHP4 and PHP5 for IP 255.255.255.255. Value "-1" is _correct_ value for 255.255.255.255, so that note must be deleted from documentation. Note about PHP4 is exist near the top of chapter.

Latest PHP5 win32 snapshot was built on: Aug 19, 2004 08:30 GMT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-19 18:18:25] belikoviv at is dot lg dot ua Sorry, but problem not fixed - I try php5-win32-latest.zip and php5.0-win32-200408190830.zip. Both snapshots return FALSE on address 255.255.255.255. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-19 16:04:35] tony2001@php.net Fixed in CVS, thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-19 16:04:11] tony2001@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-19 15:57:42] belikoviv at is dot lg dot ua Since version 5.0 ip2long returns FALSE on invalid address. It is documented, and it is correct. But ip2long returns FALSE on 255.255.255.255 - it is _not_ correct, because 255.255.255.255 is _valid_ address. Documentation says that ip2long returns -1 on 255.255.255.255 - it is _correct_, because unsigned 0xffffffff is signed -1. Unfortunatelly, I cannot fix this error by myself... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
