A better solution would be to limit the scope of the regex and use ^
and $ on the regex the original code has in place. I'd personally use:

If (preg_match("/^((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1?\d{1,2})\.){3}((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-=
9]|1?\d{1,2}))$/", $eping_hosttocheck))

Won't match IPv6 addresses, but neither will the original code, and it
matches IP addresses perfectly I believe.

My Suggestion for IPv4 is:

^(?!0+\.0+\.0+\.0+$)([01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-2][0-3])\.([01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.([01]?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])$

So 0.0.0.0 (Internet) doesn't match, just as 224.0.0.0/4 (Multicast) and
240.0.0.0/4 (Future Use) as described in RFC3330.

(based on the Regex from Mastering Regular Expression, Jeffrey E.F. Friedl)

Any further suggestions?

Beware that 0.0.0.1 is also adressable, as the whole /8 has been
issued for the same thing :-)


If you wish to use a very complete list of "unlikely" IPv4 adresses,
you're looking for the bogons list at http://www.cymru.com/Bogons/.

A short list on "special" IPv4 adresses can be found in RFC 3330;
so you might also wish to add

0.0.0.0/8 (RFC1700)
127.0.0.0/8 (loopback, RFC1700)
169.254.0.0/16 (LINKLOCAL)
192.0.2.0/24 (NET-TEST, "for documentation only")
198.18.0.0/15 (network device testing, see RFC 2544)

.... and possibly more or less the complete RFC1918-space (10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16), too.


For IPv6, at least

0000::/8 (loopback)
FE00::/9 and FF00::/8 (multicast, see RFC3513)
2001B8::/32 ("documentation-only", RFC3849)

are quite clear to reject.
