Rated 2 time(s). Average Rating: 4.5

Description:
Performs a regex on the string and determines if it a valid IP address. The value passed must match contain four octets delimited by a period. Each octet must be a number from 1 to 255. The addresses 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not valid. Note This only checks the octet form of IP addresses. It does not check the binary form.

Return Values:
Returns a boolean.

Example:

view plain print about

<CFSET BADIP = "fred">
<CFSET BADIP2 = "120.120.120.0">
<CFSET IP = "216.115.108.245">
<CFOUTPUT>
Is #BADIP# valid? #IsIP(BADIP)#<BR>
Is #BADIP2# valid? #IsIP(BADIP2)#<BR>
Is #IP# valid? #IsIP(IP)#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>

<CFSET BADIP = "fred">
<CFSET BADIP2 = "120.120.120.0">
<CFSET IP = "216.115.108.245">
<CFOUTPUT>
Is #BADIP# valid? #IsIP(BADIP)#<BR>
Is #BADIP2# valid? #IsIP(BADIP2)#<BR>
