# ip2long

(PHP 4 , PHP 5)

ip2long -- Converts a string containing an (IPv4) Internet Protocol dotted address into a proper address

## Description

int ip2long ( string ip_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.

> Nota: As of PHP 5.0.0 ip2long() returns `FALSE` when ip_address is invalid.

Exemplo 1. ip2long() Example
`<?php $ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com'); $out = "The following URLs are equivalent:<br />\n"; $out .= 'http://www.example.com/, http://' . $ip . '/, and http://' . sprintf("%u", ip2long($ip)) . "/<br />\n"; echo $out; ?>`

> Nota: 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 both PHP 4 and PHP 5:

Exemplo 2. Displaying an IP address
`<?php $ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com'); $long = ip2long($ip); if ($long == -1 || $long === FALSE) { echo 'Invalid IP, please try again'; } else { echo $ip . "\n"; // 192.0.34.166 echo $long . "\n"; // -1073732954 printf("%u\n", ip2long($ip)); // 3221234342 } ?>`

ip2long() should not be used as the sole form of IP validation. Combine it with long2ip():

Exemplo 3. IP validation
`<?php // make sure IPs are valid. also converts a non-complete IP into // a proper dotted quad as explained below. $ip = long2ip(ip2long("127.0.0.1")); // "127.0.0.1" $ip = long2ip(ip2long("10.0.0")); // "10.0.0.0" $ip = long2ip(ip2long("10.0.256")); // "10.0.1.0" ?>`

ip2long() will also work with non-complete IP addresses. Read http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/inet_addr.htm for more info.

> Nota: ip2long() will return -1 (PHP 4) or `FALSE` (PHP 5) for the IP 255.255.255.255.
