Error banning IPv6 address.

When attempting to ban an IPv6 address at http://mysite.net/mod.php/ban?/ban, an error is received.

inet_ntop(): Invalid in_addr value when banning ffff:ffff:fff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff

This actually isn't a valid IPv6 address, since it doesn't have 8x 16 bytes.

If you meant a real IPv6 address, it may also mean, that your php wasn't
build with IPv6 support, as per http://pl1.php.net/inet_ntop:

This function converts a 32bit IPv4, or 128bit IPv6 address (if PHP was

built with IPv6 support enabled) into an address family appropriate string
representation.

Try to run the following code on your server to check that:

<?php
$packed = chr(127) . chr(0) . chr(0) . chr(1);
$expanded = inet_ntop($packed);

/* Outputs: 127.0.0.1 */
echo $expanded;

$packed = str_repeat(chr(0), 15) . chr(1);
$expanded = inet_ntop($packed);

/* Outputs: ::1 */
echo $expanded;
?>

My mod missed a segment when typing it in. Now I feel silly.
