For people who wondering what the meaning of this function name:
pton: a presentation(printable) format address to network address
ntop: a network address to presentation(printable) format address
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
inet_ntop — Konvertiert eine komprimierte IP-Adresse in ein menschenlesbares Format
Die Funktion konvertiert eine 32-bittige IPv4- oder eine 128-bittige IPv6-Adresse (sofern PHP mit IPv6-Unterstützung kompiliert wurde) in ein für die Adressfamilie geeignetes Format.
ipEine 32-bittige IPv4- or 128-bittige IPv6-Adresse.
Gibt eine Stringdarstellung der Adresse zurück. Bei einem Fehler wird false zurückgegeben.
Beispiel #1 inet_ntop()-Beispiel
<?php
$packed = chr(127) . chr(0) . chr(0) . chr(1);
$expanded = inet_ntop($packed);
/* Ausgabe: 127.0.0.1 */
echo $expanded;
$packed = str_repeat(chr(0), 15) . chr(1);
$expanded = inet_ntop($packed);
/* Ausgabe: ::1 */
echo $expanded;
?>
For people who wondering what the meaning of this function name:
pton: a presentation(printable) format address to network address
ntop: a network address to presentation(printable) format addressPHP's inet_ntop function is not compatible with the binary representation used by MySQL's INET6_ATON function, assuming you are using the recommended method of storing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in a VARBINARY(16) field. You need to convert it like this:
/**
* Convert a MySQL binary v4 (4-byte) or v6 (16-byte) IP address to a printable string.
* @param string $ip A binary string containing an IP address, as returned from MySQL's INET6_ATON function
* @return string Empty if not valid.
*/
function inet6_ntop($ip) {
$l = strlen($ip);
if ($l == 4 or $l == 16) {
return inet_ntop(pack('A' . $l, $ip));
}
return '';
}
You don't need a function going the other way because MySQL's INET6_NTOA is already compatible with PHP's inet_pton function.
