As you know, range() function can get a range between number and the other,
how to do the same with an IP
as example..
$range_one = "1.1.1.1";
$range_two = "1.1.3.5";
print_r( range($range_one, $range_two) );
/* I want a result of :
1.1.1.1
1.1.2.2
1.1.3.3
1.1.3.4
1.1.3.5
*/
i was thinking of using the explode() function to explode " . " and separate each number then use range with each of them after that combine them all together, it seems a bit complicated for me and i guess there's an easier method to do it
You can use ip2long to convert the IP addresses into integers. Here's a function that works for old IPv4 addresses:
/* Generate a list of all IP addresses
between $start and $end (inclusive). */
function ip_range($start, $end) {
$start = ip2long($start);
$end = ip2long($end);
return array_map('long2ip', range($start, $end) );
}
$range_one = "1.1.1.1";
$range_two = "1.1.3.5";
print_r( ip_range($range_one, $range_two) );
How about this:
$range_one = "1.1.1.1";
$range_two = "1.1.3.5";
$ip1 = ip2long ($range_one);
$ip2 = ip2long ($range_two);
while ($ip1 <= $ip2) {
print_r (long2ip($ip1) . "\n");
$ip1 ++;
}
Update:
BTW, your expected output isn't exactly a range. For instance, the next IP after 1.1.1.1
is 1.1.1.2
and not 1.1.2.2
.
You may use inet_ntop, inet_ pton http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.inet-ntop.php
