I am currently using 'inet' fields in an
application that uses PHP 3.0.14, and it
works fine, e.g:

select session_ip from acct where session_ip is not null;

pg_FieldType() says the column is 'inet' and the results print like this w/o any special effort:

10.0.0.3
10.0.0.4
10.0.0.54
10.0.0.158

Updates work just as easily:

if (! ($update = pg_exec( $conn,
"update acct set session_ip = '$REMOTE_ADDR', \
last_login = 'now'::text where account = $data[0]")))
