Note Submitter: greg at netops dot gvtc dot com ---- Re: m.ozarek's isIpMask() function You might want to adjust your preg_match line from: if(preg_match("/[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]/",$mask)){ to if(preg_match("/[0-9]++\.[0-9]++\.[0-9]++\.[0-9]++/",$mask)){ this should properly match up to 3 characters per octet and require that the periods be periods not just any character. I tested against a handful of IPs, and it seemed to match fine, and did not allow a 7 digit number to be considered a mask to check. This is probably more useful if doing a match against a regular IP than against the subnet mask, but its always good to have more layers of checking. *note.. not all applications support the regex + metacharacter.
