(PHP 4 , PHP 5)
ip2long -- Converts a string containing an (IPv4) Internet Protocol dotted address into a proper address.The function ip2long() generates an IPv4 Internet network address from its Internet standard format (dotted string) representation. If ip_address is invalid then -1 is returned. Note that -1 does not evaluate as FALSE in PHP.
In PHP 5 ip2long() returns FALSE when the ip_address is in valid.
注: Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many IP addresses will result in negative integers, you need to use the "%u" formatter of sprintf() or printf() to get the string representation of the unsigned IP address.
This second example shows how to print a converted address with the printf() function in PHP 4:
This third example shows how to print a converted address with the printf() function in PHP 5:
ip2long() will also work with non-complete ip adresses. Read http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/inet_addr.htm for more info.
注: ip2long() will return -1 for the IP 255.255.255.255
