Help with converting python code to php

[chantskevin]

I need to convert convert a python function to php.

the function gets a dotted ip address and convert it to long integer.

python code: return struct.unpack('L',socket.inet_aton(ip))[0]

Can someone give me some ideas what functions i should use to change it to php code.

I tried to use ip2long() and unpack() but i am getting a different number.

Thanks

ip2long() is the same as python's inet_aton() not 100% sure about the rest of it however
