In MySQL (and others?) you can use these two functions: INET_NTOA(expr) INET_ATON(expr)

Is it easy enough to change a formated IP addy (eg 192.168.0.1) to the 32bit unsigned int that computers use? the reason I ask is because it is alot more efficient space wise in a db to be storing a 32bit number rather that a char or varchar field. Or am I going to run into trouble because all ints are signed in PHP? -- JJ Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
