note 104783 added to function.ip2long

The signed integers of PHP will produce a lot of negative values for ip2long. Here is what I did it to make sure that valid numbers enter into my database: INT(10) UNSIGNED. <?php # IP is: 192.168.0.224 $ip = sprintf("%u", ip2long(long2ip(ip2long($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))); # It produces: 3232235744 ?> I can treat the $ip as string in PHP, while integer for MySQL. The following works well - while converting back to IP, using the SQL: SELECT INET_NTOA(3232235744) ip, INET_ATON('192.168.0.224') number; The results are good: 192.168.0.224 and 3232235744 respectively. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 117.121.234.131 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104783 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104783 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104783 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
