Why not? As everything with ZF: You don't have to use it. Having a 'wrapper'
makes this stuff more accessible.

Last night I also thought of IPv6. I suppose similar calculations and
formatting stuff might be necessary and they are more complex than IPv4.
Wrapping this and maybe some other stuff (MAC, IPX) into
Zend_Network_Adressing might be useful.

I'm guessing this would be subnet calculations like:
CIDR 192.168.123.45/25:

Network: 192.168.123.0
Range: 192.168.123.0-192.168.123.127
Netmask: 255.255.255.128

Re: [fw-general] IP calculations

2008-07-30 Thread Micah Gersten
I'm looking to reproduce something like this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asat/

in the Zend framework to integrate with some other apps I have.

Why wouldn't it be useful to have functions that can check an IP range
for you or tell you if a subnet is valid?

As Till mentioned, we may not have a clear understanding of what
"calculations" you have in mind.

I would guess that most people who need to do range matching, subnets, etc.
simply convert an IP address string to its packed binary equivalent, and
then use PHP bitwise operators.  No need to have an OO interface for
something this simple.

http://php.net/inet_pton
http://php.net/inet_ntop
http://php.net/language.operators.bitwise

If you have some other types of calculations in mind, you're going to have
to be more explicit.
