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

whats the purpose of this? inputting it to a mysql database? flat file? I am just curious why you need the ip with out decimals.

Um on the other note, you could try the following,

PHP Code:

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$exploded_ip = explode('.',$ip);
$final_ip = implode('',$exploded_ip);

I don't think he meant to just remove the decimals. Each component of an IP address is an 8bit value (0 - 255), so you can actually convert it to a 32bit integer.

PHP Code:

function iptoint($ip)
{
     $ips = explode('.', $ip);
     $binip = '';
     foreach($ips as $i)
     {
          //append 0s if strlen < 8
          $bin = decbin($i);
          $zeros = '';
          for($i = strln($bin); $i < 8; $i++)
          {
                $zeros .= '0';
          }
          $bin = $zeros . $bin;
          $binip .= $bin;
     }
     return bindec($binip);
}
