static IP::canonicalize (   $addr )

static

This will make it more compact and lower-case.

Parameters

string

$ip

Returns

string

Definition at line 201 of file IP.php.

Referenced by IPTest\testPrettifyIP(), and Linker\userLink().

static IP::sanitizeIP (   $ip )

static

Convert an IP into a verbose, uppercase, normalized form.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are trimmed. Additionally, IPv6 addresses in octet notation are expanded to 8 words; IPv4 addresses have leading zeros, in each octet, removed.

Parameters

string

$ip

IP address in quad or octet form (CIDR or not).

Returns

string

Definition at line 140 of file IP.php.

Referenced by BlockTest\addXffBlocks(), User\getBlockedStatus(), User\getName(), LogPager\limitPerformer(), Block\parseTarget(), MediaWikiTitleCodec\splitTitleString(), and IPTest\testSanitizeIP().

static IP::sanitizeRange (   $range )

static

Gets rid of unneeded numbers in quad-dotted/octet IP strings For example, 127.111.113.151/24 -> 127.111.113.0/24.

Parameters

string

$range

IP address to normalize

Returns

string

Definition at line 713 of file IP.php.

Referenced by BlockTest\addXffBlocks(), FileCacheBase\incrMissesRecent(), Block\parseTarget(), and IPTest\testSanitizeRange().

static IP::splitHostAndPort (   $both )

static

Given a host/port string, like one might find in the host part of a URL per RFC 2732, split the hostname part and the port part and return an array with an element for each.

If there is no port part, the array will have false in place of the port. If the string was invalid in some way, false is returned.

This was easy with IPv4 and was generally done in an ad-hoc way, but with IPv6 it's somewhat more complicated due to the need to parse the square brackets and colons.

A bare IPv6 address is accepted despite the lack of square brackets.

Parameters

string

$both

The string with the host and port

Returns

array|false Array normally, false on certain failures

Definition at line 254 of file IP.php.

Referenced by WebRequest\detectServer(), DatabaseMysqli\mysqlConnect(), and IPTest\testSplitHostAndPort().

static IP::toHex (   $ip )

static

Return a zero-padded upper case hexadecimal representation of an IP address.

Hexadecimal addresses are used because they can easily be extended to IPv6 support. To separate the ranges, the return value from this function for an IPv6 address will be prefixed with "v6-", a non- hexadecimal string which sorts after the IPv4 addresses.

Parameters

string

$ip

Quad dotted/octet IP address.

Returns

string|bool False on failure
