Hello,
i like to also not see much more of this small utility modules, in the end its
just a text operation, as you've said.
Ok. I'm coding it right now in a new module but just for testing
purposes (which is easier than modify existing core parts).
Another question, have you thought about extending the
existing "equals"
operator that it works also for IPv6 address? Just like for IPv4 addresses
where it already understands network masks, e.g.:
if ($si == 192.168.1.1/32) {..}
if ($si == 192.168.1.1) {..}
it could do this binary comparison inside as well for v6.
Interesting. However, in case the second argument is a pv (i.e.
retrieved from a DB) "equal" operator would not work as expected, am I
right?
This is the reason I'm coding a function "compare_ips" which allow
IPv4, IPv6, IPv6-reference (string or pv).
Maybe another function could be created: is_ip_in(IP, NETWORK)
