Plaseplease update... 5.1.6 is from 2006! I read the "it's required",

version... You know: There are 3 (!) new minor versions available right
now (5.2, 5.3 and 5.4).
However: Regarding your concrete problem I guess you can use ip2long()
if (ip2long($ip)) {
I would suggest a modification to this.
if ( ip2long($ip) !== false ) {
I would actually suggest using inet_pton() instead of ip2long, since it
can also handle IPv6 adresses, not only v4 which people here seem to
think are the only ones in use on this planet. And I agree with Jim that
you really should use a strict equality check in this case.
IPv6 is a valid point, but inet_pton() triggers a warning in case of
invalid addresses, which makes it quite useless for validation in my
eyes. Also it's not available on windows before 5.3
And the strict comparison feels ... a little bit to much. Of course
depending on the use-case, I would treat 0.0.0.0 as invalid too.
