If you are using PostgreSQL, it has a built-in IP address data type
which almost for sure does this. :-)
Maybe what you want to do is just convert the IP to an integer.
function ipd($ip){
list($a, $b, $c, $c) = explode('.', $ip);
$ipd = $a * 0x1000000 + $b * 0x10000 + $c * 0x100 + $d;
return $ipd;
}
Now you can just compare idp() of any IP addresses to see if they are
in a 'range'
There's probably a better way.
And you should probably use bit-shifting operators (<< and >>) insted
of my * 0x1000000 method, as it might be faster.
