/Agreed

But to answer your question (without reading the post that is) of how
to validate an ip address in php ...

<?php
$ip = '192.168.1';
if (($longip = ip2long($ip)) !== false) {
printf("%u<br>", $longip);
if ($ip == long2ip($longip)) {
echo "IP: $ip appears to be ok";
} else {
echo "$ip does not seem to match " .
long2ip($longip);
}
} else {
echo "IP appears to be invalid";
}
?>

For an explanation ...

Which just happened to be the first result on Google for "valid ip
address php".
