[phpBB] phpBB2 and ipv6

[Tornevall]

Did someone forget to add ipv6-support for phpBB2?
Well, here we go!


Please note this is untested code, and a very simple solution to make it work...

Alter database:

ALTER TABLE phpbb_sessions MODIFY COLUMN `session_ip` VARCHAR(40);
ALTER TABLE phpbb_privmsgs MODIFY COLUMN `privmsgs_ip` VARCHAR(40);
ALTER TABLE phpbb_banlist MODIFY COLUMN `ban_ip` VARCHAR(40);
ALTER TABLE phpbb_posts MODIFY COLUMN `poster_ip` VARCHAR(40);

Edit: includes/functions.php

Find:

function encode_ip($dotquad_ip)
{
        $ip_sep = explode('.', $dotquad_ip);

After, add:

        if (preg_match("[\:]", $dotquad_ip, $ipv6match))
        {
                return($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
        }

Find:

function decode_ip($int_ip)
{

After, add:

        if (preg_match("[\:]", $int_ip, $ipv6match))
        {
                return($int_ip);
        }

Result:
