Doctrine Support

This documentation is for the package darsyn/ip-doctrine, which was split into a separate package in v5+ so that PHP version requirements could be updated independently. Require that as a Composer dependency to use this functionality.

This library can be used to support IP address as column types with Doctrine DBAL versions ^2.3 || ^3.0.

Three Doctrine types are provided to match the three version classes:

• Darsyn\IP\Doctrine\IPV4Type supports the IPv4 class.
• Darsyn\IP\Doctrine\IPV6Type supports the IPv6 class.
• Darsyn\IP\Doctrine\MultiType supports the Multi class.

<?php
use Darsyn\IP\Doctrine\MultiType;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type;

Type::addType('ip', MultiType::class);

If you are using Symfony, then add the following to your main configuration:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            ip: Darsyn\IP\Doctrine\MultiType

Now you can happily store IP addresses in your entities like nobody's business:

<?php
use Darsyn\IP\Version\Multi as IP;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

#[ORM\Entity]
class AnalyticsEntity
{
     #[ORM\Column(type: 'ip')]
    public IP $ipAddress;
}
