Methods

uncompress

Uncompresses an IPv6 address

public static uncompress(string $ip): string

RFC 4291 allows you to compress concecutive zero pieces in an address to '::'. This method expects a valid IPv6 address and expands the '::' to the required number of zero pieces.

Example: FF01::101 -> FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 ::1 -> 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1

  • This method is static.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$ip string An IPv6 address

Return Value:

The uncompressed IPv6 address

compress

Compresses an IPv6 address

public static compress(string $ip): string

RFC 4291 allows you to compress concecutive zero pieces in an address to '::'. This method expects a valid IPv6 address and compresses consecutive zero pieces to '::'.

Example: FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 -> FF01::101 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 -> ::1

  • This method is static.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$ip string An IPv6 address

Return Value:

The compressed IPv6 address

split_v6_v4

Splits an IPv6 address into the IPv6 and IPv4 representation parts

private static split_v6_v4(string $ip): array

RFC 4291 allows you to represent the last two parts of an IPv6 address using the standard IPv4 representation

Example: 0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:129.144.52.38

  • This method is static.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$ip string An IPv6 address

Return Value:

[0] contains the IPv6 represented part, and [1] the IPv4 represented part

check_ipv6

Checks an IPv6 address

public static check_ipv6(string $ip): bool

Checks if the given IP is a valid IPv6 address

  • This method is static.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$ip string An IPv6 address

Return Value:

true if $ip is a valid IPv6 address

checkIPv6

Checks if the given IP is a valid IPv6 address

public static checkIPv6(string $ip): bool

  • This method is static.

  • Warning: this method is deprecated. This means that this method will likely be removed in a future version.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$ip string An IPv6 address

Return Value:
