This function is use check enter ip address is validate. It will check ip have class validate.It will check valid ip address class A To E

Class E has not equipped with any subnet mask.

function check_validate_ip($user_ip_address) {
if (strtolower($user_ip_address) === 'UNKNOWN')
return false;

// Convert Internet Protocol(IPv4)
// dotted address into a long integer.
$user_ip_address = ip2long($user_ip_address);

// if the ip is set and not equivalent to 255.255.255.255
if ($user_ip_address !== false && $user_ip_address !== -1)
{
$user_ip_address = sprintf('%u', $user_ip_address);
// do private network range checking
if ($user_ip_address >= 0 && $user_ip_address <= 50331647)
{
return false;
}
if ($user_ip_address >= 167772160 && $user_ip_address <= 184549375)
{
return false;
}
if ($user_ip_address >= 2130706432 && $user_ip_address <= 2147483647)
