function cidr2ip($cidr)
{
    $ip_arr = explode('/', $cidr);
    $start = ip2long($ip_arr[0]);
    $nm = $ip_arr[1];
    $num = pow(2, 32 - $nm);
    $end = $start + $num - 1;
    return array($ip_arr[0], long2ip($end));
}
?>

Example:

<? var_dump(cidr2ip('102.68.1.0/25')); ?>

result:

array(2) {
[0]=>
string(10) “102.68.1.0”
[1]=>
string(12) “102.68.1.127”
}
