note 111267 added to function.inet-pton

Because I HAD to develop on an older version of PHP and needed IPv4 and IPv6 support on windows, here is a replacement function that seems to work very well. djmaze(AT)dragonflycms(.)org already made an attempt, this should be a better version. May it be useful for someone else. <?php //From: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14459041/inet-pton-replacement-function-for-php-5-2-17-in-windows function inet_pton($ip){ # ipv4 if (strpos($ip, '.') !== FALSE) { if (strpos($ip, ':') === FALSE) $ip = pack('N',ip2long($ip)); else { $ip = explode(':',$ip); $ip = pack('N',ip2long($ip[count($ip)-1])); } } # ipv6 elseif (strpos($ip, ':') !== FALSE) { $ip = explode(':', $ip); $parts=8-count($ip); $res='';$replaced=0; foreach ($ip as $seg) { if ($seg!='') $res .= str_pad($seg, 4, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); elseif ($replaced==0) { for ($i=0;$i<=$parts;$i++) $res.='0000'; $replaced=1; } elseif ($replaced==1) $res.='0000'; } $ip = pack('H'.strlen($res), $res); } return $ip; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 72.190.66.176 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.inet-pton.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111267 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111267 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111267 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
