INET_ATON Function in PHP?

[jamesm87]

Hello,

Can someone direct me to a similar function in php called INET_ATON used in MySQL and Perl to get the network address from an IP.

Thanks in advance,

(PS on a side note http://www.gazoop.com/test.php "INET_PTON" does not work)

Hello,

Thanks for your replies. I do not think I explained myself correctly, therefore here is the description for that function in MySQL.

INET_ATON(expr)

Given the dotted-quad representation of a network address as a string, returns an integer that represents the numeric value of the address. Addresses may be 4- or 8-byte addresses. mysql> SELECT INET_ATON('209.207.224.40');
-> 3520061480

The generated number is always in network byte order. For the example just shown, the number is calculated as 209256³ + 207256² + 224*256 + 40. As of MySQL 4.1.2, INET_ATON() also understands short-form IP addresses: mysql> SELECT INET_ATON('127.0.0.1'), INET_ATON('127.1');
-> 2130706433, 2130706433

INET_ATON() was added in MySQL 3.23.15.

Your functions simply return "0.0.0.0.proxycache.0.net"

Thankyou in advance,

I've understood the question and I did some work with both functions just recently. Thats the function you need.

Function that does the oposite is long2ip()
