compress()

static IPv6::compress ( $ip )

Compresses an IPv6 address.

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

$ip

An IPv6 address

string

The compressed IPv6 address

uncompress()

static IPv6::uncompress ( $ip )

static

Uncompresses an IPv6 address.

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
