Try this

function inet6_to_int64($addr)
{
    /* Expand the address if necessary */
    if (strlen($addr) != 39) {
        $addr = inet6_expand($addr);
        if ($addr == false) return false;
    } // if
    $addr = str_replace(':', '', $addr);
    $p1 = '0x' . substr($addr, 0, 16);
    $p2 = '0x' . substr($addr, 16);
    $p1 = gmp_init($p1);
    $p2 = gmp_init($p2);
    $result = array(gmp_strval($p1), gmp_strval($p2));
    return $result;
} // inet6_to_int64()
