I'm wondering if anyone has run into any security problems due to the different methods of storing strings. Here is an example of my point:

$fooball="127.0.0.1\0Yay";
echo(ip2long($fooball));
echo("<br>");
echo($fooball);

Output(inet_addr, which ip2long users, only sees 127.0.0.1, so it succeeds):

2130706433
127.0.0.1 Yay
