note 108567 added to function.ip2long

Unfortunately sprintf('%u', ...) is low and returns string representation of integer value instead of integer. Here is a function I use to convert IP to mySQL-compatible signed integer: function ip2int($ip) { if (!$r = ip2long($ip)) return 0; // we want 0 instead of false, even in case of bad IP if ($r > 2147483647) $r-= 4294967296; return $r; // ok } ---- Server IP: 89.251.21.32 Probable Submitter: 91.200.180.180 (proxied: 91.200.180.180) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108567 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108567 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108567 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
