Not sure if this is a bug or not... I have run into an error when performing a conditional using iplong() and the ~ bitwise operator $ip = '0.0.0.0'; $mask = '24'; $end = (ip2long($ip) || (~ip2long($mask))) + 1; PHP Fatal error: Unsupported operand types I even tried to typecast the mask to (int)
The error is probably not where you suspect it to be. ip2long will return false for ip2long($mask), because $mask is not a valid IP address. The ~ operator is not supported for false. - Matijn
Strange... this works $ip = '10.0.2.0'; $mask = '24'; Anything using 0.0.0.0 fails using the bitmask to calculate valid CIDR ranges.
Yes, because with $ip being 0.0.0.0, the result of ip2long($ip) will be zero. Zero evaluates to false when PHP is going to parse the || operator, and because of that, it continues to parse the rest. When the result of ip2long($ip) is greater that zero, in case of some other valid IP, it will evaluate to true and PHP will not even execute the rest after the || because the result will be true anyway. Did you mean to use a single | operator, as a bitwise OR? - Matijn With any ACL rule using iptables, hosts.allow/hosts.deny, routers where 0.0.0.0/24 is specified (all of the internet ipv4 addresses) this is a valid range using CIDR notation. It seems like a bug to me
