Also a duplicate of #25487.

The function should NEVER return FALSE, but it should return -1 for
255.255.255.255; if it does not do this, or it is not documented as
such. The bug is open.

This is already documented and the function works as the documentation
states. If you don't like how it was implemented, you are free to send
a patch and/or to open a feature request. This is not a bug.

I think that problem not in documentation, but in function itself.

Address 255.255.255.255 is _valid_ address, and function must return
0xffffffff (-1), not FALSE.

In versions before 5.0 ip2long was return -1 in both situations - as
error and in case of addres=255.255.255.255. This is not good solution,
and, as I think, authors rewrite function to return FALSE in case of
invalid IP and return -1 in case of IP=255.255.255.255. And this
behavior of function was written in documentation, so documentation
_is_ correct.

Sorry for so many words in bad English :(

Description:
------------
Documentation (from 16-08-2004) says:
"Note: ip2long() will return -1 for the IP 255.255.255.255"
Instead it returns FALSE.


Reproduce code:
---------------
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
$ip = "255.255.255.255";
$long = ip2long ( $ip );//  if ( $long === FALSE ) $long = -1;
echo $ip, "\t", $long, "\t", long2ip ( $long ), "\n";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
255.255.255.255 -1 255.255.255.255


Actual result:
--------------
255.255.255.255  0.0.0.0
