New Comment:
Another thing that might help narrow down what is happening is that is
you use ip2long to convert an address above 127.255.255.255 the integer
you get back is negative.
I presume that this means that somewhere in the code this is stored as
a signed integer as opposed to an unsigned long?

In which case I would suspect that this is a platform dependent bug, as
I have reproduced this on more than one FreeBSD machine, of different
versions (all 4.x) on differing processors.
Presumably as this works fine when the address is presented as an int
and not as a string, the problem lies in converting the string to an
integer value, before it is tranformed into dotted octet notation?
If this is the case then it is probably some .h file being misdetected
by the configure script??? </GUESS>
Also another pointer to problems is that if you use a number that
requires more than 16 bits, then the returned address is always
127.255.255.255, which is quite a significant number.
My guess (although I am by no means an expert) is that in using some
function like strtoul we are loosing the long or the unsigned
attributes of the integer and so accidentally passing incorrect (16 bit
number instead of 32??) information about??

I've done a little more digging to see why the problem occured. I'm
not 100% sure if it is a problem with php, or misuse of php really.
However it might be worth adding in something to make this work.
My script was getting the decimal address as a string, an integer. The
following example should illustrate it.
<?
$moo = "167772161";
echo long2ip($moo);
echo "<BR>";
$moo = 167772161;
echo long2ip($moo);
?>
As a side thing you also need to add the following to get larger
numbers to work when using strings:
if ($moo > 0) $moo += pow(2,32);

Sorry, I missed out a bit:
inet4oct blah;

Can you provide a simple sample script with data that shows the
problem?
