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 */
}
?>
ip2long
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
ip2long — Konvertiert eine gemäß IPv4-Protokoll angegebene IP-Adresse vom Punkt-Format in ein Long Integer
Beschreibung
Die Funktion ip2long() erzeugt aus einer im Punkt-Format angegebenen IPv4-Adresse ein Long Integer.
ip2long() funktioniert auch mit unvollständigen IP-Adressen. Lesen Sie » http://ps-2.kev009.com/wisclibrary/aix52/usr/share/man/info/en_US/a_doc_lib/libs/commtrf2/inet_addr.htm, um weitere Informationen zu erhalten.
Parameter-Liste
-
ip -
Eine Adresse im Standardformat.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt ein Long Integer zurück. Ist ip ungültig, wird
false zurückgegeben.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 ip2long()-Beispiel:
<?php
$ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com');
$out = "Die folgenden URLs entsprechen sich:<br />\n";
$out .= 'http://www.example.com/, http://' . $ip . '/, and http://' . sprintf("%u", ip2long($ip)) . "/<br />\n";
echo $out;
?>
Beispiel #2 Eine IP-Adresse anzeigen
Das zweite Beispiel zeigt, wie eine konvertierte Adresse mittels printf() ausgegeben werden kann:
<?php
$ip = gethostbyname('www.example.com');
$long = ip2long($ip);
if ($long == -1 || $long === FALSE) {
echo 'Ungültige IP, versuchen Sie es noch einmal';
} else {
echo $ip . "\n"; // 192.0.34.166
echo $long . "\n"; // 3221234342 (-1073732954 auf 32-bit Systemen aufgrund des Integer-Überlaufs)
printf("%u\n", ip2long($ip)); // 3221234342
}
?>Anmerkungen
Hinweis:
Da der int-Typ von PHP vorzeichenbehaftet ist und viele IP-Adressen auf 32-bit Architekturen in einen negativen Integerwert aufgelöst werden, sollten Sie dort die Formatierungsangabe "%u" für sprintf() und printf() verwenden, um eine Stringdarstellung der vorzeichenlosen IP-Adresse zu erhalten.
Hinweis:
ip2long() gibt
-1für die IP-Adresse255.255.255.255auf 32-Bit-Systemen zurück, da der Integer-Wert überläuft.

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

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. :)

To get the network adress out of the broadcast adress and netmask just to an AND on it:
<?php
// simple example
$bcast = ip2long("192.168.178.255");
$smask = ip2long("255.255.255.0");
$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));

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;
}
?>

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.

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;
}
}

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.

Below is a merged form of all various notes, and a better (and correct) network matching function.

// determines if a network in the form of 192.168.17.1/16 or
// 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 or 10.0.0.1 matches a given ip
$ip_arr = explode('/', $network);
$network_long = ip2long($ip_arr[0]);
$x = ip2long($ip_arr[1]);
$mask = long2ip($x) == $ip_arr[1] ? $x : 0xffffffff << (32 - $ip_arr[1]);
$ip_long = ip2long($ip);
// echo ">".$ip_arr[1]."> ".decbin($mask)."\n";
return ($ip_long & $mask) == ($network_long & $mask);
}
echo net_match('192.168.17.1/16', '192.168.15.1')."\n"; // returns true
echo net_match('127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255', '127.0.0.2')."\n"; // returns false

// Return the IP address
function address() { return ($this->address); }
//--------------
// Return the netbits
function netbits() { return ($this->netbits); }
//--------------
// Return the netmask
function netmask()
{
return (long2ip(ip2long("255.255.255.255")
<< (32-$this->netbits)));
}
//--------------
// Return the network that the address sits in

//--------------
// Return the inverse mask of the netmask
function inverse()

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
}

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...)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
