IPUtil
======

[](#iputil)

IPv4 and IPv6 Address/Network parsing utility classes

Requirements PHP 5.6+

Does not require bcmath or gmp.

Built for use in [LibreNMS - Network Monitoring Software](https://librenms.org).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Create a new IP instance

[](#create-a-new-ip-instance)

```
try {
    $ip = new IP('192.168.1.1');
    // or
    $ip = IP::parse('192.168.1.1');
} catch (InvalidIpException $e) {
    //
}
```

#### Check if a given string is a valid IP

[](#check-if-a-given-string-is-a-valid-ip)

```
IP::isValid('192.168.1.333');
```

You may specifically require IPv4 or IPv6 by using those classes directly:

```
$ip = IPv4::parse('192.168.1.1');
$ip = IPv6::parse('2600::');

IPv4::isValid('192.168.1.1');
IPv6::isValid('2600::');
```

#### Access the parsed IP

[](#access-the-parsed-ip)

```
echo $ip; // print nicely formated IP with cidr/prefix

echo $ip->address; // print just the address
echo $ip->cidr; // print the prefix length

echo $ip->compressed(); // Compresses IP addresses for easy reading
echo $ip->uncompressed(); // Uncompresses IP addresses for easy parsing
```

#### Handle network operations:

[](#handle-network-operations)

```
if ($ip->inNetwork('192.168.1.1/24')) {
    echo $ip->getNetwork();
}
```

#### Parse from Hex (useful for SNMP)

[](#parse-from-hex-useful-for-snmp)

```
$ip = IP::fromHexString('c0a801fe');
```
