Removing and Replacing decimals in an IP address (from string to integer and vica verca)
<p>Alright, basically, I need to pass through an IP address as a parameter in a website that I'm linking to, however I'm not sure that a string broken with "." decimals can be accepted as a value (I think only a-z and 0-9 can be passed), so it would need to be an integer.</p>

<p>The IP address will also be posted back to me after the other server has validated a few things, and I'll need to reconvert it into a full string IP address.</p>

<p>Is there any easy way to remove the decimal points from an IP address, and then replace them again?</p>

<p>Any points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated :).</p>
