thanks @trenshaw

Thanks!

Really useful, Thanks!

Great! Saved me some priceless time!

Thanks a lot.
Little optimization: You should do the strpos check with "===" else php matches the first position too, because 0 == false.

Thank you!

Very good. Thank you.

The === is still not fixed. Else thank you!

THAANKSS MAN. very good!

Thanks!

thx - nice peace!

Very nice... thank you for this code

A word of thanks.

See also the implementation by cloudflare, supporting ipv4 and v6: https://github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-Tools/blob/master/cloudflare/ip_in_range.php

Thanks for the link! This is what I need.

Thanks a lot !

Thank you.. useful for a lot of projects

Thanks!

Great Job.

this modification can be made
