Arjen even mentions it back in 2005: http://arjen-lentz.livejournal.com/44290.html It does make things a bit harder to read, and at one point I did get different results when calculating it in PHP vs. MySQL (I forget when and how, and haven't seen the issue again) but if you're looking for IP ranges it can come in handy too - integer math is much cleaner than IP address math :) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
