DataMapper - Using INET_NTOA/INET_ATON?

[eluser]Basketcasesoftware[/eluser]
wanwizard is the prime candidate for that one.

And I can write a function to convert an IP address to an integer and back again quite easily. There are lots of ways to skin this cat.

I've done some research and it turns out that you don't need to do it that way..

Code:

$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$inet_aton = ip2long($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

$data = array(
    'ip_address' => $ip_address,
    'ip2long' => ip2long($ip_address),
    'long2ip' => long2ip($inet_aton),
);

echo '<pre>';
print_r($data);
echo '</pre>';

Output on a localhost:

Code:

Array
(
    [ip_address] => 127.0.0.1
    [ip2long] => 2130706433
    [long2ip] => 127.0.0.1
)

Google is your friend, use it.

Thanks Karl! But that whole deal compared to a single line of code isn't really worth it.

The bits you require are will be one-liners.. I just put them into an example and dumped the results..

You need to focus on the ip2long and the long2ip functions...

You are absolutely right, I think I raced through your answer. That'll certainly work and I think I'll use it , thanks again. It would be nice though to find a solution to my initial question.

I'm not familiar with the Datamapper ORM, but surely something like:

Code:

$u->ip = ip2long($this->input->ip_address());

Would suffice?

[eluser]Basketcasesoftware[/eluser]
Yep, it sure would.

and

Code:

$ip_address=long2ip($u->ip);

for the reverse.

[eluser]sorenchr[/eluser]
Shameless bumping. My initial question is yet to be answered

The answer was already given:

Code:

// SELECT INET_NTOA(ipaddr) AS ip_address
$u->select_func('INET_NTOA', '@ipaddr', 'ip_address')->get();

As Datamapper objects are stored using the save() method, you can't use INET_ATON, you need to use one of the suggestions mentioned above and set $object->ipaddr.

You are quite right. Thanks for the response.
