In MySQL (and others?) you can use these two functions:
INET_NTOA(expr)
INET_ATON(expr)

Subject: [PHP] Ip address as 32bit int?
Is it easy enough to change a formated IP addy (eg 192.168.0.1) to the 32bit
unsigned int that computers use?
the reason I ask is because it is alot more efficient space wise in a db to
be storing a 32bit number rather that a char or varchar field.
Or am I going to run into trouble because all ints are signed in PHP?
