This'll work:

function ipmatch ( $ip1, $ip2 ) {
  if( ereg( "(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3})[0-9]{1,3}", $ip1, $match1 ) &&
      ereg( "(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3})[0-9]{1,3}", $ip2, $match2 ) ) {
    return( $match1[ 1 ] == $match2[ 1 ] );
  }
}

Q: How many Microsoft support staff does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Four. One to ask "What is the registration number of the light bulb?",
   one to ask "Have you tried rebooting it?", another to ask "Have you
   tried reinstalling it?" and the last one to say "It must be your hardware
   because the light bulb in our office works fine..."
