ip2long

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

ip2long — 将 IPV4 的字符串互联网协议转换成长整型数字

说明

int ip2long ( string $ip_address )

函数 ip2long() 返回 IPV4 网络地址的长整型格式，从标准网络地址格式(点字符串)转化得到。

ip2long() 还可以与非完整IP进行工作。 阅读 » http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/inet_addr.htm 获得更多信息。

参数

ip_address

一个标准格式的地址。

返回值

返回IP地址转换后的数字 或 FALSE 如果 ip_address 是无效的。

更新日志

版本 说明
5.5.0 Prior to this version, on Windows ip2long() would sometimes return a valid number even if passed a value which was not an (IPv4) Internet Protocol dotted address.
5.2.10 再此之前的版本, ip2long() 有时会返回即使这不是一个IPV4的标准地址的数字地址。

范例

Example #1 ip2long() 例子

<?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;
?>

Example #2 显示IP地址

第二个例子说明打印一个转换后的地址使用 printf() 在PHP4和PHP5的功能:

<?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
}
?>

注释

Note:

因为PHP的 integer 类型是有符号，并且有许多的IP地址讲导致在32位系统的情况下为负数， 你需要使用 "%u" 进行转换通过 sprintf() 或 printf() 得到的字符串来表示无符号的IP地址。

Note:

ip2long() 将返回 FALSE 在IP是 255.255.255.255 的情况，版本为 PHP 5 <= 5.0.2. 在修复后 PHP 5.0.3 会返回 -1 (与PHP4相同).

Here are my versions of prefix to mask and mask to prefix conversions. You can remove first lines with if/preg of each function if you don't want sanity precheck.

    function prefix2Mask($prefix)
    {
        if (!preg_match('#^(?:0*[0-2]?[0-9]|3[0-2])$#', $prefix)) return false; # wrong prefix
        return long2ip(0xffffffff << (32 - $prefix));
    }
   
    function mask2Prefix($mask)
    {
        if (!preg_match('#^(?:(?:[0-1][0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])\.){3}'.
            '(?:[0-1][0-9][0-9]|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]|[0-9][0-9]|[0-9])$#', $mask))
            return false; # wrong mask
        $m2p = str_pad(substr(decbin(ip2long($mask)), -32, 32), 32, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
        if (!preg_match('#^(1*)0*$#', $m2p, $m)) return false; # wrong mask
        return strlen($m[1]);
    }

The manual states that "ip2long() will also work with non-complete IP addresses", however this is system-dependant so cannot be relied upon. For example, on my system ip2long() will return FALSE for incomplete addresses:

<?php
var_dump(ip2long("255.255")); // bool(false)
?>

This is because ip2long will use inet_pton if available, which does not support non-complete addresses. If inet_pton is not available on your system, inet_addr will be used and incomplete addresses will work as stated.

If you want to validate IPs using this function, please be careful:
The function filter_var should be used instead for validating IPs.

<?php
$ip = '192.168.0355.24';
var_dump(ip2long($ip) !== false); // true (expected false)
var_dump(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) !== false); // false

$ip = '192.168.355.24';
var_dump(ip2long($ip) !== false); // false
var_dump(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP) !== false); // false
?>

As pointed out by others, this function's return value is not consistent on 32 and 64-bit platforms.

Your best bet for consistent behavior across 32/64-bit platforms (and Windows) is the lowest common denominator: force the return value of ip2long() into a signed 32-bit integer, e.g.:

    var_dump(unpack('l', pack('l', ip2long('255.255.255.0'))));

This looks idiotic, but it gives you a consistent signed integer value on all platforms.

(the arguments to both pack() and unpack() are the lower-case letter "L", not the number "1", in case it looks that way on your screen...)

Unfortunately sprintf('%u', ...) is low and returns string representation of integer value instead of integer.
Here is a function I use to convert IP to mySQL-compatible signed integer:

function ip2int($ip) {
  if (!$r = ip2long($ip)) return 0; // we want 0 instead of false, even in case of bad IP
  if ($r > 2147483647)
      $r-= 4294967296;
  return $r; // ok
}

Be aware when you're running 64bit system, ip2long will result 64 bit integer which doesn't fit in MySQL INT, you can use BIGINT or INT UNSIGNED because on 64bit systems ip2long will never return negative integer. See also https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54338

In 32bits systems, you cannot convert ipv6 to long, but you can convert ip2bin and bin2ip

This function converts ipv4 and ipv6, returns false if ip is not valid

<?php
function ip2bin($ip)
{
    if(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV4) !== false)
        return base_convert(ip2long($ip),10,2);
    if(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV6) === false)
        return false;
    if(($ip_n = inet_pton($ip)) === false) return false;
    $bits = 15; // 16 x 8 bit = 128bit (ipv6)
    while ($bits >= 0)
    {
        $bin = sprintf("%08b",(ord($ip_n[$bits])));
        $ipbin = $bin.$ipbin;
        $bits--;
    }
    return $ipbin;
}

function bin2ip($bin)
{
   if(strlen($bin) <= 32) // 32bits (ipv4)
       return long2ip(base_convert($bin,2,10));
   if(strlen($bin) != 128)
       return false;
   $pad = 128 - strlen($bin);
   for ($i = 1; $i <= $pad; $i++)
   {
       $bin = "0".$bin;
   }
   $bits = 0;
   while ($bits <= 7)
   {
       $bin_part = substr($bin,($bits*16),16);
       $ipv6 .= dechex(bindec($bin_part)).":";
       $bits++;
   }
   return inet_ntop(inet_pton(substr($ipv6,0,-1)));
}

I would just like to try and clear up simply that if storing IPV4 addresses in an SQL database you should use an unsigned int (4 bytes).

The easiest way to do this in PHP is to use sprintf():

<?php
 $dottedFormatAddress = '127.0.0.1';
 $ipv4address = sprintf("%u", ip2long($dottedFormatAddress));
?>

Primary reasons are it's compatible with database functions like MySQL's INET_ATON & INET_NTOA (which also use unsigned int's), it's efficient,  and it's the most common format used by IP lookup databases.

A quick method to convert a netmask (ex: 255.255.255.240) to a cidr mask (ex: /28):

<?php
function mask2cidr($mask){
  $long = ip2long($mask);
  $base = ip2long('255.255.255.255');
  return 32-log(($long ^ $base)+1,2);

  /* xor-ing will give you the inverse mask,
      log base 2 of that +1 will return the number
      of bits that are off in the mask and subtracting
      from 32 gets you the cidr notation */
       
}

Here some working ip2long6 and long2ip6 functions - keep in mind that this needs php gmp-lib:

<?php

$ipv6 = "2001:4860:a005::68";

function ip2long6($ipv6) {
  $ip_n = inet_pton($ipv6);
  $bits = 15; // 16 x 8 bit = 128bit
  while ($bits >= 0) {
    $bin = sprintf("%08b",(ord($ip_n[$bits])));
    $ipv6long = $bin.$ipv6long;
    $bits--;
  }
  return gmp_strval(gmp_init($ipv6long,2),10);
}

function long2ip6($ipv6long) {

  $bin = gmp_strval(gmp_init($ipv6long,10),2);
  if (strlen($bin) < 128) {
    $pad = 128 - strlen($bin);
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $pad; $i++) {
    $bin = "0".$bin;
    }
  }
  $bits = 0;
  while ($bits <= 7) {
    $bin_part = substr($bin,($bits*16),16);
    $ipv6 .= dechex(bindec($bin_part)).":";
    $bits++;
  }
  // compress

  return inet_ntop(inet_pton(substr($ipv6,0,-1)));
}

print $ipv6long =  ip2long6($ipv6)."\n";
print $ipv6 = long2ip6($ipv6long)."\n";

?>

outputs:

$nmask = $bcast & $smask;
echo long2ip($nmask); // Will give 192.168.178.0
?>

With this example you are able to check if a given host is in your own local net or not (on linux):

<?php
/**
 * Check if a client IP is in our Server subnet
 *
 * @param string $client_ip
 * @param string $server_ip
 * @return boolean
 */
function clientInSameSubnet($client_ip=false,$server_ip=false) {
    if (!$client_ip)
        $client_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    if (!$server_ip)
        $server_ip = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
    // Extract broadcast and netmask from ifconfig
    if (!($p = popen("ifconfig","r"))) return false;
    $out = "";
    while(!feof($p))
        $out .= fread($p,1024);
    fclose($p);
    // This is because the php.net comment function does not
    // allow long lines.
    $match  = "/^.*".$server_ip;
    $match .= ".*Bcast:(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}i\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}).*";
    $match .= "Mask:(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})$/im";
    if (!preg_match($match,$out,$regs))
        return false;
    $bcast = ip2long($regs[1]);
    $smask = ip2long($regs[2]);
    $ipadr = ip2long($client_ip);
    $nmask = $bcast & $smask;
    return (($ipadr & $smask) == ($nmask & $smask));
}

I wrote something on the different ways to get an IP and convert it using ip2long(), the different ways to store an IP or an IP range in MySQL, and the different ways to query for the IP(s). Maybe something useful for others?

I wanted to build on what kaputt and spinyn contributed in a way that I think is a little more intuitive (e.g., let sprintf do all the binary conversion and padding, and let substr_compare do the trimming and comparing):

<?php
function ip_in_network($ip, $net_addr, $net_mask){
    if($net_mask <= 0){ return false; }
        $ip_binary_string = sprintf("%032b",ip2long($ip));
        $net_binary_string = sprintf("%032b",ip2long($net_addr));
        return (substr_compare($ip_binary_string,$net_binary_string,0,$net_mask) === 0);
}

ip_in_network("192.168.2.1","192.168.2.0",24); //true
ip_in_network("192.168.6.93","192.168.0.0",16); //true
ip_in_network("1.6.6.6","128.168.2.0",1); //false
?>
spinyn at gmail dot com 17-Apr-2009 04:51
Just want to add a comment to kaputt's valuable contribution to the task of matching hosts to ip ranges, efficiently.  The script works fine if the binary representation of the ip involves no leading zeros.  Unfortunately, the way decbin() seems to work, leading zeros in the binary representation of the first ip quad get dropped.  That is a serious matter if you're trying to match all possible candidates in the checklist.  In those cases the leading zeros need to be added back to get accurate matches for values in the first quad between 0-127 (or the binary equivalent, 0-01111111).

The solution I came up with to address this issue was the following function:

<?php
function addLeadingZero($ip) {
   if (($result = (32 - strlen($ip))) > 0)
      return str_repeat("0", $result).$ip;
}
?>
Anonymous 18-Feb-2009 08:43
To always get the signed 32bit representation of an ip, I found this workaround:
<?php
list(, $ip) = unpack('l',pack('l',ip2long('200.200.200.200')));
?>

In this example, $ip will be -926365496 regardless of a 32 or 64 bit system.

Convert IP to unsigned long

<?php
//$strIP  :   IP in String-format
//$lngIP  :   IP in unsigned long

if (($lngIP=ip2long($strIP)) < 0){ $lngIP += 4294967296 ;}

                                                       // ADD 2^32

thats all.

Hi all!

I've maded simple script that allow you filter traffic by networks, like if you want to deny 192.168.0.0/24

I used ncritten's myip2long function for this.

Sorry for such non-optimized code, but it works enough good =)

file iplist.txt:
192.168.0.0/24
172.16.0.0/16
10.0.0.0/8

<?php
########### ncritten's function myip2long

function myip2long($ip) {
   if (is_numeric($ip)) {
       return sprintf("%u", floatval($ip));
   } else {
       return sprintf("%u", floatval(ip2long($ip)));
   }
}

########### function to chek ip if it in one of denyied/allowed networks =)

function ipfilter($ip) {
   $match = 0;

### converting ip address in binary
   $ip_addr = decbin(myip2long($ip));

### the file wich contains allowed/denyied networks
   if (fopen("iplist.txt", "r")) {
       $source = file("iplist.txt");

       foreach ($source as $line) {

### exploding each network to obtaid network address and cidr
           $network = explode("/", $line);
           $net_addr = decbin(myip2long($network[0]));
           $cidr = $network[1];

### and finaly cheking quantity of network bits from left to right wich is equal to cidr is equal to the same bits of ip address
           if (substr($net_addr, 0, $cidr) == substr($ip_addr, 0, $cidr)) {
               $match = 1;
               break;
           }
       }
   }
   return $match;
}

### this function will return 1 if IP match to some network or 0 if will not match

### and finaly the chek will be like this

$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if (ipfilter($user_ip) == 1)  echo "allowed!";
else echo "deny!";

?>

Good Luck!

P.S. Sorry for my bad english =)

If you're speaking about efficiency, there's no absolute right / wrong as it all depends on the user's needs, specs and requirements.

But from what I'm coming from , this method served me well,  I've used this to match 2 network ends of approx 2700++ something unique VRFs (Nortel Shasta) and yes, each VRF is a virtualized firewall that consists of at least 20 different network objects (some could have couple of hundreds). Not to mention that these , still have to be compared with another hundreds of contivity boxes and each box have a range of around 1-600 vpn peers (to add more complexity, each peer has around 1-50 network ranges).

So, if you do the math, the number of permutations that need to be calculated, is indeed quite complex. I could get the whole result somewhere in around 50-65 secs tops.

Had I used a php function to crunch those data the result would have been longer.

Hi,

Your solution requires you to store the IP addresses and masks as strings, and also to store the subnet mask being used by your hosts.  This is very inefficient.

If you stored your network addresses as unsigned Integers, and your masks as TinyInts (i.e. a value between 0 & 32), you could instead do this:

select * from networks WHERE inet_aton('10.20.251.130') between `ipnumber` AND (`ipnumber` + (POW(2,(32-`mask`)))-1);

Obviously this can be made quicker on very high load systems by storing the broadcast address in the table instead of calculating it on the fly:

select * from networks WHERE inet_aton('10.20.251.130') between `ipnumber` AND `broadcast`;

Hi,
Please find below a little function I wrote for handling IP addresses as unsigned integers.
This function will take an IP address or IP number in ANY FORMAT (that I can think of) and will return it's decimal unsigned equivalent, as a string.

<?php
function myip2long($ip){
    if (is_numeric($ip)){
        return sprintf("%u", floatval($ip));
    } else {
        return sprintf("%u", floatval(ip2long($ip)));
    }
}
?>

Here is is in action:

<?php
$ip['DottedQuadDec'] = "192.168.255.109";
$ip['PosIntStr']     = "3232300909";
$ip['NegIntStr']     = "-1062666387";
$ip['PosInt']        = 3232300909;
$ip['NegInt']        = -1062666387;
$ip['DottedQuadHex'] = "0xc0.0xA8.0xFF.0x6D";
$ip['DottedQuadOct'] = "0300.0250.0377.0155";
$ip['HexIntStr']     = "0xC0A8FF6D";
$ip['HexInt']        = 0xC0A8FF6D;

printf("\n% 16s : % 20s => % 11s => % 16s","Input Type","Input Value","Converted","Converted Back");
echo "\n    ------------------------------------------------------------------";
foreach ($ip as $type => $value){
    $ipnum = myip2long($value);
    printf("\n% 16s : % 20s => % 11s => % 16s",$type,$value,$ipnum,long2ip($ipnum));
}
?>

A quick way to find which IP address belong to which network , *without* even creating a single PHP function (pure SQL)

Scenario :
- I have one table that has a list of host ip addresses
- I have another table that list all the networks' addresses
- I need to find which host belongs to which network

nodes table
+-------------+-----------------+-------+
| ip          | mask            | name  |
+-------------+-----------------+-------+
| 192.168.1.1 | 255.255.255.0   | node1 |
| 192.168.1.1 | 255.255.255.252 | node2 |
| 192.168.2.1 | 255.255.255.252 | node3 |
+-------------+-----------------+-------+

network1 table
+-------------+---------------+------+
| ipaddr      | netmask       | name |
+-------------+---------------+------+
| 192.168.1.0 | 255.255.255.0 | net1 |
| 192.168.2.0 | 255.255.255.0 | net2 |
| 192.168.3.0 | 255.255.255.0 | net3 |
| 192.168.4.0 | 255.255.255.0 | net4 |
+-------------+---------------+------+

Solution 1 - with PHP ( Long ... ) :
1. create a PHP function that will calculate and compare IP address with the network
2. extract data from the table nodes, calculate the IP with its mask using a PHP function to get the network address
3.  do the same with table network1
4. compare result 2 and result 3 , once finished put them into an array to be presented as an HTML
5. done

Solution 2 - With SQL ( Very Very Fast & Short ) :
1. create sql with 'inet_aton' function + table joins
2. extract the data from sql outputs
3. done

how :
SQL :
select a.name as host_name,
a.ip as host_ip,
b.name as net_name
from nodes a, network1 b
where (inet_aton(a.ip) & inet_aton(a.mask) = inet_aton(b.ipaddr) & inet_aton(b.netmask));

Results :
Voilla ...
+-----------+-------------+----------+
| host_name | host_ip     | net_name |
+-----------+-------------+----------+
| node1     | 192.168.1.1 | net1     |
| node2     | 192.168.1.1 | net1     |
| node3     | 192.168.2.1 | net2     |
+-----------+-------------+----------+

Hope this helps

The code examples explain why printing needs a casting, but beware that also calculations are performed with signed integers. In my case, the result of (ip2long('130.89.0.1') >> 24) was supposed to be 130, but the actual result was -126
chrisp-phpnet at inventivedingo dot com 31-May-2008 04:36
I had a problem with calling this function with REMOTE_ADDR on my lighttpd web server. Turned out that IPv6 was installed on this server, so even though REMOTE_ADDR was an IPv4 address, it was being formatted using IPv6's IPv4 compatibility mode. For example, 10.0.0.1 was becoming ::ffff:10.0.0.1, which caused iplong to report the address as invalid instead of parsing it correctly.

The correct fix would of course be to update my infrastructure so that it's properly IPv6-compatible; but in the context of my particular situation, this would involve a lot of re-engineering. So in the meantime, I worked around the issue using this quick and dirty hack:

<?php
    $ip = htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
    if (strpos($ip, '::') === 0) {
        $ip = substr($ip, strrpos($ip, ':')+1);
    }
    $host = ip2long($ip);
?>

Ugly but functional.

In using a combination of jbothe's code below and some of the "$mask = 0xFFFFFFFF << (32 - $bits)" type code, I ran into an error with some later calculations on a 64 bit machine.

Keep in mind that when you're analyzing numbers meant to be treated as 32 bits wide (such as IP addresses), you may want to truncate them. Without relying on other libraries, it was simple enough to follow any calculations that may end with different results on a 64 bit machine with " & 0xFFFFFFFF"

Though in many cases, it seems like it might be simpler to just use "~0 << ..." for initial shifting to create the network mask instead of "0xFFFFFFFF << ...". I don't know that it guarantees further operations to work as expected though.

here is netMatch function which is the fastest I could wrote, I hope developers will include native function soon...

<?php
function netMatch ($CIDR,$IP) {
    list ($net, $mask) = explode ('/', $CIDR);
    return ( ip2long ($IP) & ~((1 << (32 - $mask)) - 1) ) == ip2long ($net);
}

To nate, who advises that there is no reason to use an unsigned version of the IP in a MySQL DB:

I think it would depend on your application, but personally, I find it useful to store IP's as unsigneds since MySQL has 2 native functions, INET_ATON() and INET_NTOA(), which work the same as ip2long()/long2ip() _except_ that they generate the unsigned counterpart. So if you want, you could do:

-- IANA Class-B reserved/private
SELECT * FROM `servers`
WHERE `ip` >= INET_ATON('192.168.0.0')
AND `ip` <= INET_ATON('192.168.255.255');

In my current application, I find it easier to use the MySQL built-ins than the PHP counter-parts.

In case you're curious as to the names ATON and NTOA:

ATON = address to number aka. ip2long
NTOA = number to address aka. long2ip

This function will not return a correct bigint.

base_convert() is limited to the double type,
which usually counts 64bits and not 128 like an IPv6 address.

For example:

FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

will __NOT__ be converted to 128^2 -1

You should use a bigint lib's multiplication function,
with decimal shifting factors defined as string constants (much faster than recalculating them every time).
Grab 8 short integers (the 16bits between the ':' with base_convert($hex,16,10)) and shift the 7 higher ones with a bigint_multiplication.

Of course you can also do it with less bigint ops using 32bit integers, but then you should create them this way (additionally 'sprintf' for making an uint32 string):
$uint32= sprintf('%u',intval(base_convert($hex,16,10)));

Finally, "bigint_add" the shifted ones to the least (unshifted) significant interger string and be happy

PS: I'm working on an IPv4/6 tool class with raw (also endianness), 6/4 compatibility and validation methods,
I'll post it here as soon as it's finished and tested.

The things that this function do is:

Structure of function:

<?php

$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$numbers=explode (".",$ip);
$code=($numbers[0] * 16777216) + ($numbers[1] * 65536) + ($numbers[2] * 256) + ($numbers[3]);
//$code is the final variant

?>

that is similar to do this:

<?php

$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$code=ip2long($ip);
//$code is the final variant

A common way to express IP addresses and subnet masks is to use what is refered to as slash notation.  Instead of writing out:
IP = 192.168.100.2
Subnet Mask = 255.255.240.0
Writing out "192.168.100.2/20" is much shorter.

If you are looking for a way to convert a subnet mask into it's slash notation counterpart, here is a single line of code that can perform this task.

<?php
$slash_notation = strlen(preg_replace("/0/", "", decbin(ip2long($subnet_mask))));
?>

For example...
A subnet mask of 255.255.240.0 expressed in binary looks like this:
11111111111111111111000000000000
This gives us a slash notation of 20 which is simply counting the number of 1's in the masks binary representation.

Here is a function that uses this code to return an IP address and subnet mask in slash notation.

<?php
function slash_notation($ip, $mask) {
  return $ip."/".strlen(preg_replace("/0/", "", decbin(ip2long($mask))));
}
?>

calling slash_notation("192.168.100.2", "255.255.255.0"); will return "192.168.100.2/24".

Hope this is of use to some of you out there.

Thanks to sealbreaker for the conversion method. I'd seen <?php (ip2long($ip) & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 0x80000000 ?> before, but noticed it didn't work on all ips. You've discovered why. :)

In case anyone is wondering what sealbreaker means by obtaining an "integer value", s/he means an unsigned int, vs the signed version ip2long provides. Well, technically this conversion will sometimes give you a float since php's integer type is signed.

The good news is that long2ip will correctly handle converting these signed versions back into ips.

So, to get an unsigned version of an ip (ie, always >= 0):

<?php

$ip = '127.0.0.1';

// may return a php int or float
$signed = substr($ip, 0, 3) > 127 ? ((ip2long($ip) & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 0x80000000) : ip2long($ip);

// will return a string version
$signed2 = sprintf('%u', ip2long($ip));

var_dump($signed, $signed2, long2ip($signed), long2ip($signed2));

?>

P.S.: If you're storing IPs in MySQL, there is NO POINT in converting to these unsigned values to place in an INT UNSIGNED column. Just use an INT SIGNED column, and directly use the result from ip2long. The only reason you should really need to force your ip2long result into its unsigned version is if you need to compare them with another source that uses unsigned (ie: some IP database lookup utils use unsigned).

As a note : if you are using (PHP 4, PHP 5) and are looking to get the integer value of an IP address, i have found that the following works flawlessly for converting to and from IPv4 and it's integer equivalent. I must give credit elsewhere for this portion of the code (ip2long($ip) & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 0x80000000). I looked but was unable to find the comment where it was included.

$ip = "127.0.0.0"; // as an example

$integer_ip = (substr($ip, 0, 3) > 127) ? ((ip2long($ip) & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 0x80000000) : ip2long($ip);

echo $integer_ip; // integer value of IP address
echo long2ip($integer_ip); // convert to an IPv4 formatted address
-----------------------
Results are as follows:
-----------------------
2130706432
127.0.0.0
-----------------------
255.255.255.255 (converts to) 4294967295 (and back to) 255.255.255.255
209.65.0.0 (converts to) 3510697984 (and back to) 209.65.0.0
12.0.0.0 (converts to) 201326592 (and back to) 12.0.0.0
1.0.0.0 (converts to) 16777216 (and back to) 1.0.0.0

Keep in mind that storing IP addresses inside of your database as integers (rather than 15 character strings in decimal format, or 8 character strings in hex format) is hundreds of times faster.

Take the typical case of a MySQL database doing a search for an IP address on thousands (or millions!) of rows; you're either doing a string compare for each entry, or an integer equation. If you do your indexes correctly, your lookups should be literally 100x faster using an INT rather than a VARCHAR.

Also note that an integer doesn't need to be escaped when passed to a database. :)

A somewhat more efficient alternative to convert the signed integer return by ip2long:

$float = ((ip2long($ip) & 0x7FFFFFFF) + 0x80000000);

I wrote a small function to validate a netmask (We have a form where the netmask of a given server is entered in, and I wanted to make sure it was valid). Hope this is useful.

<?php
// Netmask Validator //
function checkNetmask($ip) {
 if (!ip2long($ip)) {
  return false;
 } elseif(strlen(decbin(ip2long($ip))) != 32 && ip2long($ip) != 0) {
  return false;
 } elseif(ereg('01',decbin(ip2long($ip))) || !ereg('0',decbin(ip2long($ip)))) {
  return false;
 } else {
  return true;
 }
}
?>

Just to save you some time.

Beware that octets in IP address are being treated as numbers. So, '10.0.0.11' is not equal to '10.0.0.011'. '011' is octal number (base 8), so it converts to '9'. You can even go further and see that '10.0.0.0xa' also works (equals to '10.0.0.16').

This is not PHP issue, though.

Convert an ipv6 address to an base 10 integer

<?php
function ip2long6($ip)
    {
        if (substr_count($ip, '::'))
            {
                $ip = str_replace('::', str_repeat(':0000', 8 - substr_count($ip, ':')) . ':', $ip) ;
            }
           
        $ip = explode(':', $ip) ;
       
        $r_ip = '' ;
        foreach ($ip as $v)
            {
                $r_ip .= str_pad(base_convert($v, 16, 2), 16, 0, STR_PAD_LEFT) ;
            }
           
        return base_convert($r_ip, 2, 10) ;
    }
?>

Here's a simple IP address match checking function.

It takes 3 arguments: ip address to check (after ip2long), ip address to check against (after ip2long), and mask to check against (integer 0-32).

Just make sure you perform ip2long on the ip addresses before inputting them to the function.

<?php
function match_ip($check_ip, $match_ip, $match_mask = 32)
    {
        for ($i = 0 ; $i < $match_mask ; $i++)
            {
                $n = pow(2, 31 - $i) ;
                if (($n & $check_ip) != ($n & $match_ip))
                    {
                        return FALSE ;
                    }
            }
           
        return TRUE ;
    }
?>

I've been looking for a function like this for a while, i hope it helps someone.

NOTE: ip2long() should NOT be used for CIDR calculation.
Instead, you should use something like the following:

<?php
        /* get the base and the bits from the ban in the database */
        list($base, $bits) = explode('/', $CIDR);

        /* now split it up into it's classes */
        list($a, $b, $c, $d) = explode('.', $base);

        /* now do some bit shfiting/switching to convert to ints */
        $i = ($a << 24) + ($b << 16) + ($c << 8) + $d;
        $mask = $bits == 0 ? 0 : (~0 << (32 - $bits));

        /* here's our lowest int */
        $low = $i & $mask;

        /* here's our highest int */
        $high = $i | (~$mask & 0xFFFFFFFF);

        /* now split the ip were checking against up into classes */
        list($a, $b, $c, $d) = explode('.', $iptocheck);

        /* now convert the ip we're checking against to an int */
        $check = ($a << 24) + ($b << 16) + ($c << 8) + $d;

        /* if the ip is within the range, including
      highest/lowest values, then it's witin the CIDR range */
        if ($check >= $low && $check <= $high)
            return 1;
       else
            return 0;
?>

This means that you should check to see if the IP
address is of the correct format each time.

Here is a modified version of the code posted by legetz81 (AT) yahoo (dot) com. It handles the shorter, and more common, notation: "189.128/11".

<?php

$ip_addr_cidr = "192.168.37.215/27";
cidr($ip_addr_cidr);

function cidr($ip_addr_cidr) {

$ip_arr = explode('/', $ip_addr_cidr);

$dotcount = substr_count($ip_arr[0], ".");
$padding = str_repeat(".0", 3 - $dotcount);
$ip_arr[0].=$padding;

$bin = '';
for($i=1;$i<=32;$i++) {
   $bin .= $ip_arr[1] >= $i ? '1' : '0';
}
$ip_arr[1] = bindec($bin);

$ip = ip2long($ip_arr[0]);
$nm = ip2long($ip_arr[1]);
$nw = ($ip & $nm);
$bc = $nw | (~$nm);

echo "Number of Hosts:    " . ($bc - $nw - 1) . "\n";
echo "Host Range:        " . long2ip($nw + 1) . " -> " . long2ip($bc - 1)  . "\n";

/*
This will produce:
Number of Hosts:    30
Host Range:        192.168.37.193 -> 192.168.37.222
*/

}

?>

I made one tiny change to Stephane's routine below when I had problems with spaces in an IP range.  I moved the trim function before the ip2long call.

Thanks Stephane!

Dirk.

<?php
function netMatch($network, $ip) {

   $network=trim($network);
   $ip = trim($ip);

   $d = strpos($network,"-");
   if ($d===false) {
       $ip_arr = explode('/', $network);
 
       if (!preg_match("@\d*\.\d*\.\d*\.\d*@",$ip_arr[0],$matches)){
           $ip_arr[0].=".0";    // Alternate form 194.1.4/24
       }

       $network_long = ip2long($ip_arr[0]);
       $x = ip2long($ip_arr[1]);
         
       $mask = long2ip($x) == $ip_arr[1] ? $x : (0xffffffff << (32 - $ip_arr[1]));
       $ip_long = ip2long($ip);
 
       return ($ip_long & $mask) == ($network_long & $mask);
   }
   else {
       $from = ip2long(trim(substr($network,0,$d)));
       $to = ip2long(trim(substr($network,$d+1)));

       $ip = ip2long($ip);
       return ($ip>=$from and $ip<=$to);
   }
}

Here is a script that will calculate host range and number of hosts with a given ip address CIDR notation (modified code which was posted by phl AT cyways.com):

<?php
$ip_addr_cidr = "192.168.37.215/27";
$ip_arr = explode('/', $ip_addr_cidr);

$bin = '';
for($i=1;$i<=32;$i++) {
    $bin .= $ip_arr[1] >= $i ? '1' : '0';
}
$ip_arr[1] = bindec($bin);

$ip = ip2long($ip_arr[0]);
$nm = ip2long($ip_arr[1]);
$nw = ($ip & $nm);
$bc = $nw | (~$nm);

echo "Number of Hosts:    " . ($bc - $nw - 1) . "\n";
echo "Host Range:         " . long2ip($nw + 1) . " -> " . long2ip($bc - 1)  . "\n";
?>

This will produce:
Number of Hosts:    30
Host Range:         192.168.37.193 -> 192.168.37.222

A simple function to compare two IP addresses against a netmask. Useful if you're locking down a web app with an IP address, but can't force the IPs to be exactly the same.

<?php
function ipcompare ($ip1, $ip2, $mask) {
    $masked1 = ip2long($ip1) & ip2long($mask); // bitwise AND of $ip1 with the mask
    $masked2 = ip2long($ip2) & ip2long($mask); // bitwise AND of $ip2 with the mask
      if ($masked1 == $masked2) return true;
      else return false;
}
?>

Examples:

<?php
  ipcompare("192.168.1.63","192.168.1.65","255.255.255.0") // true
  ipcompare("192.168.1.63","192.168.1.65","255.255.255.192") // false
?>

Note: ip2long and long2ip do not function as the c linux functions inet_addr and inet_ntoa. They store the long in reverse byte order (little endian vs big endian i guess).
For example you send 10.0.0.1 to inet_ntoa you take the long from the result and you pass it to long2ip  you get 1.0.0.10. You won't run into this issue unless you use a database both from c linux programs and php scripts.

My first idea was to reverse the long, but unfortunatley the long was stored as unsigned and i got a lot of problems doing calculations with it (some operations would work well others not; probably it was stored as float i do not know for sure...)

So my solution was

<?php
function str_rev_ip($str)
{
    $ar=explode(".",$str);
    return "$ar[3].$ar[2].$ar[1].$ar[0]";
}
?>

and i take the result from inet_ntoa and parse it as str_rev_ip(long2ip($var))
tomlove at gmail dot com 04-Jul-2005 01:09
A quick and efficient way to compare two IPs with a given mask:

<?php
function ipmatch ($ip1, $ip2, $mask) {
  if ((ip2long($ip1) & ~(pow(2, 32-$mask)-1)) == (ip2long($ip2) & ~(pow(2, 32-$mask)-1))) return true;
  else return false;
}
?>

Here's an application of it that selects the best IP given the choice of a (possibly private or invalid) forwarded address or a (possibly proxy) apparent address:

<?php
$a = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
if ($a == '' || ipmatch($a, "10.0.0.0", 8) || ipmatch($a, "172.16.0.0", 12) || ipmatch($a, "192.168.0.0", 16) || ipmatch($a, "255.255.255.255", 32)) $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
else $ip = $a;
?>

Or use it to ban people:

<?php
$banned_ip = '135.23.12.3';
if (ipmatch($ip, $banned_ip, 32)) die('BANNED!');
?>

The bitwise comparison the function uses can be done in SQL to do ban matches right in your database.

Here is a function that tells you if an ip address is in a CIDR range. However, the CIDR argument can be an array of CIDRs. This was created from other matchCIDR functions in the user notes.

<?php
function matchCIDR($addr, $cidr) {

        // $addr should be an ip address in the format '0.0.0.0'
        // $cidr should be a string in the format '100/8'
        //      or an array where each element is in the above format

        $output = false;

        if ( is_array($cidr) ) {

                foreach ( $cidr as $cidrlet ) {
                        if ( matchCIDR( $addr, $cidrlet) ) {
                                $output = true;
                        }
                }

        } else {

                list($ip, $mask) = explode('/', $cidr);

                $mask = 0xffffffff << (32 - $mask);

                $output = ((ip2long($addr) & $mask) == (ip2long($ip) & $mask));

        }

        return $output;
}

The following script will print out subnet statistics when you supply the IP Address and Subnet Mask. Usefull to calculate the broadcast address and network address as well as the number of hosts and the range of IP addresses in the subnet.

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
   $ip_addr = "172.14.1.57";
   $subnet_mask = "255.255.255.0";

   $ip = ip2long($ip_addr);
   $nm = ip2long($subnet_mask);
   $nw = ($ip & $nm);
   $bc = $nw | (~$nm);

   echo "IP Address:         " . long2ip($ip) . "\n";
   echo "Subnet Mask:        " . long2ip($nm) . "\n";
   echo "Network Address:    " . long2ip($nw) . "\n";
   echo "Broadcast Address:  " . long2ip($bc) . "\n";
   echo "Number of Hosts:    " . ($bc - $nw - 1) . "\n";
   echo "Host Range:         " . long2ip($nw + 1) . " -> " . long2ip($bc - 1)  . "\n";
?>

Produces the output:

IP Address:         172.14.1.57
Subnet Mask:        255.255.255.0
Network Address:    172.14.1.0
Broadcast Address:  172.14.1.255

If you want to get the interface of an IP, based on the local route table, use this.

<?php
function GetIfaceforIP($user_ip)
{
    $route = "/bin/netstat -rn";

    exec($route, $aoutput);
    foreach($aoutput as $key => $line)
    {
        if($key > 1)
        {
            $line = ereg_replace("[[:space:]]+",",",$line);
            list($network, $gateway, $mask, $flags, $mss, $window, $irtt, $iface) = explode(",", $line)
            if((ip2long($user_ip) & ip2long($mask)) == ip2long($network))
            {
                return $iface;
            }
        }
    }
}
?>

Yet another word on IP_Match here is the complete functions
as described by php-net at dreams4net dot com on 08-Aug-2002 09:31

<?php
# determine if an IP address is within
# a particular network with mask
function IP_Match($network, $mask, $ip) {
    $ip_long=ip2long($ip);
    $network_long=ip2long($network);
    $mask_long=ip2long($mask);
   
    if (($ip_long & $mask_long) == $network_long) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}
?>

Thank you, it is simple, fast, and best of all works!

Here's a function I whipped up today to deduce some important network information given a hostname (or its IP address) and its subnet mask:

<?php
function find_net($host,$mask) {
   ### Function to determine network characteristics
   ### $host = IP address or hostname of target host (string)
   ### $mask = Subnet mask of host in dotted decimal (string)
   ### returns array with
   ###   "cidr"      => host and mask in CIDR notation
   ###   "network"   => network address
   ###   "broadcast" => broadcast address
   ###
   ### Example: find_net("192.168.37.215","255.255.255.224")
   ### returns:
   ###    "cidr"      => 192.168.37.215/27
   ###    "network"   => 192.168.37.192
   ###    "broadcast" => 192.168.37.223
   ###

   $bits=strpos(decbin(ip2long($mask)),"0");
   $net["cidr"]=gethostbyname($host)."/".$bits;

   $net["network"]=long2ip(bindec(decbin(ip2long(gethostbyname($host))) & decbin(ip2long($mask))));

   $binhost=str_pad(decbin(ip2long(gethostbyname($host))),32,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
   $binmask=str_pad(decbin(ip2long($mask)),32,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT);
   for ($i=0; $i<32; $i++) {
      if (substr($binhost,$i,1)=="1" || substr($binmask,$i,1)=="0") {
         $broadcast.="1";
      }  else {
         $broadcast.="0";
      }
   }
   $net["broadcast"]=long2ip(bindec($broadcast));

   return $net;
}
?>
