Ipv6::compress │ public static │ WP 1.0

Compresses an IPv6 address

RFC 4291 allows you to compress consecutive zero pieces in an address to '::'. This method expects a valid IPv6 address and compresses consecutive zero pieces to '::'.

Example: FF01:0:0:0:0:0:0:101 -> FF01::101
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 -> ::1

Method of the class: Ipv6{}

No Hooks.

Returns

String. The compressed IPv6 address

Usage

$result = Ipv6::compress( $ip );

$ip(string) (required)

An IPv6 address.
