Think about using printf instead of echo and putting the strings in fixed-length fields.

Any help much appreciated

IP2LONG(3) 1 IP2LONG(3)
ip2long - Converts a string containing an (IPv4) Internet Protocol dotted address into a proper address
SYNOPSIS
int ip2long (string $ip_address)
DESCRIPTION
The function ip2long(3) generates an IPv4 Internet network address from its Internet standard format (dotted string) representation.
ip2long(3) will also work with non-complete IP addresses. Read http://publibn.boul-
der.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/inet_addr.htm for more info.
PARAMETERS
o $ip_address
- A standard format address.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the IPv4 address or FALSE if $ip_address is invalid.
CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|5.2.10 | |
| | |
| | Prior to this version, ip2long(3) would some- |
| | times return a valid number even if passed an |
| | value which was not an (IPv4) Internet Protocol |
| | dotted address. |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
ip2long(3) Example
<?php
$ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com');
$out = "The following URLs are equivalent:<br />
";
$out .= 'http://www.example.com/, http://' . $ip . '/, and http://' . sprintf("%u", ip2long($ip)) . "/<br />
";
echo $out;
?>
Example #2
Displaying an IP address
This second example shows how to print a converted address with the printf(3) function in both PHP 4 and PHP 5:
<?php
$ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com');
$long = ip2long($ip);
if ($long == -1 || $long === FALSE) {
echo 'Invalid IP, please try again';
} else {
echo $ip . "
"; // 192.0.34.166
echo $long . "
"; // -1073732954
printf("%u
", ip2long($ip)); // 3221234342
}
?>
NOTES
Note
Because PHP's integer type is signed, and many IP addresses will result in negative integers on 32-bit architectures, you need to
use the "%u" formatter of sprintf(3) or printf(3) to get the string representation of the unsigned IP address.
Note
ip2long(3) will return FALSE for the IP 255.255.255.255 in PHP 5 <= 5.0.2. It was fixed in PHP 5.0.3 where it returns -1 (same as
PHP 4).
