Open syntax issues

php.js uses JsLint to help us keep our code consistent and prevent some common bugs.

Eventually we want all code to pass or at least take into consideration most fixes suggested by JsLint, following this JsLint configuration we’ve decided on.

@ John: That will happen if you try to move around IPs in long notation between systems anyway, cause the max integer size isn't fixed:

On 64 bits system ip2long ONLY RETURNS POSITIVE VALUES

so

echo ip2long('200.200.200.200');
?>

will output -926365496 on a 32 bits system and 3368601800 on a 64 bits system

So basically only use this in the confinement of 1 process, or use a methods to get consistent numbers like sprintf('%u') before transporting to database/client/whatever

Cool idea. But this doesn't work. If you use ip2long in php, and get the result of that and pass it to this long2ip javascript function, what you get is NOT the original IP you started with. If you add (256^4)/2 to the long, you'll get the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sections correct but the first section of the IP will still be off.

long2ip/php accepts the signed int, but apparently the javascript version is looking for an unsigned int
