What

A couple of simple wrapper classes / utilities to make handling of IP addresses and subnets easier.

License

This project is licensed under the MIT license. See LICENSE.md.

Requirements

• php >= 7.4

Installation

composer require 1of0/ip-utils

Why

Disclaimer: there are some other libraries around that may be more extensive:

• S1lentium/IPTools
• darsyn/ip
• mlocati/ip-lib

However, one didn't exactly have the interface I was envisioning, one depended on bcmath, and one had some approaches that I didn't really agree with. That said, they all seem to have good test coverage and in-the-field usage, so take your pick!

So mainly I built this to get the interface that I had in mind, and to have zero dependencies other than php >= 7.4.

Usage

See the generated phpdoc for a full API specification.

Basic usage

/** @noinspection ForgottenDebugOutputInspection */
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\Factory;
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\IpAddress;
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\Subnet;

/** @var IpAddress $ip */
$ip = Factory::get()->parse('192.168.0.123');

/** @var Subnet $subnet */
$subnet = Factory::get()->parse('192.168.0.0/24');

var_dump($subnet->contains($ip));
// bool(true)

print_r([
    (string)$subnet->getAddress(),
    (string)$subnet->getNetworkAddress(),
    (string)$subnet->getRouterAddress(),
    (string)$subnet->getBroadcastAddress(),
    (string)$subnet->getSubnetMask(),
    $subnet->getCidr(),
    $subnet->getPrefixLength(),
    $subnet->getIdentifier(),
]);
// Array
// (
//     [0] => 192.168.0.0
//     [1] => 192.168.0.0
//     [2] => 192.168.0.1
//     [3] => 192.168.0.255
//     [4] => 255.255.255.0
//     [5] => 192.168.0.0/24
//     [6] => 24
//     [7] => c0a80000ffffff00
// )

Collections

Also check out ImmutableCollection!

/** @noinspection ForgottenDebugOutputInspection */
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\IpAddress;
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\Subnet;
use OneOfZero\IpUtils\Collection;

$collection = new Collection([
    '192.168.0.123',
    '10.0.0.0/8',
    IpAddress::parse('127.0.0.1'),
    Subnet::parseCidr('192.168.0.0/24'),
]);

$collection->addItem('::1');

print_r($collection->getStringRepresentations());
// Array
// (
//     [0] => 192.168.0.123
//     [1] => 10.0.0.0/8
//     [2] => 127.0.0.1
//     [3] => 192.168.0.0/24
//     [4] => ::1
// )

$collection->filterOutRedundantItems();

print_r($collection->getStringRepresentations());
// Array
// (
//     [0] => 10.0.0.0/8
//     [1] => 127.0.0.1
//     [2] => 192.168.0.0/24
//     [3] => ::1
// )

Specific design choices

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Subnet behaviour

When a Subnet instance is created with an IP address that is not the network address (e.g. 192.168.0.10/24 instead of 192.168.0.0/24), the IP address will be retained and returned via getAddress() and getCidr().

However, it will not be used by methods such as contains(), equals(), and getIdentifier().

This affects the behaviour of the Subnet in a Collection.

For example:

use OneOfZero\IpUtils\Collection;

$collection = new Collection(['192.168.0.10/24']);

$collection->getStringRepresentations();
// ['192.168.0.10/24']

$collection->addItem('192.168.0.20/24');

$collection->getStringRepresentations();
// ['192.168.0.20/24'] first item was replaced because both Subnets have the same identifier
