* Also, allow to check octet by octet after first validation.
* The result value can be a plain "string" or (for more flexibility) an array.

* array = [octet-1][dot-1][octet-2][dot-2][octet-3][dot-3][octet-4]
* elements = [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

I`m not the best out there, but this works I believe. function check_ip($ip_target) { $ip_target = trim($ip_target); $first_oct = `([1-9]\|[1-9][0-9]\|1[0-9]{0,2}\|2[0-4][0-9]\|25[0-5])`; $all_other_oct = `([0-9]\|[1-9][0-9]\|1[0-9]{0,2}\|2[0-4][0-9]\|25[0-5])`; $pattern = $first_oct . `\.` . $all_other_oct . `\.` . $all_other_oct . `\.` . $all_other_oct; if (!preg_match("/^$pattern$/", $ip_target)) { print(`Error.`); exit; } return $ip_target; }
