note 102538 added to function.ip2long

I've tried to get my comment in, but evidently it's still wider than the word wrap, even after repeated attempts to mitigate that... so i'll link to the post.

I wrote this function here to fully expand the user's ipv6 address, and then to convert it to decimal:

Note that if you don't care about it's fully expanded character representation, then wiessner's function below is probably better to just get the number.
