I am trying to get an ip address then convert it into hex to be stored in a mysql database. So far i am having NO luck. This is the code i ran across on an Internet search.

CODE
  $ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
function encode_ip($ipi) {
     // First thing to do, split the IP into its quads
     $ip = explode('.', $ipi);

     // Now we convert it and return it to the caller
     return sprintf('%02x%02x%02x%02x', $ip[0], $ip[1], $ip[2], $ip[3]);
}


I need the ip address to end up in a variable like
CODE
$IP_ADD = [the hex ip address]


Any help PLEASE

I got it figured out now
CODE

  $ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
     $ip = explode('.', $ipi);
     $HEXIP = sprintf('%02x%02x%02x%02x', $ip[0], $ip[1], $ip[2], $ip[3]);

You can convert a number to hex with dechex(). So, depending on how you want it to all end up:

php

$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
function encode_ip($ipi) {
     // First thing to do, split the IP into its quads
     $ip = explode('.', $ipi);

     // Now we convert it and return it to the caller
     for (i=0; i < count($ip); i++) {
          $ip[i] = dechex($ip[i]);
     }
     
     //join the parts together
     $IP_ADD = join(".",$ip);
}


Edit: But your way is neater smile.gif
