My ISP and hosting already have it IPV6 installed.
I did post this to be changed in CodeIgniter Reactor User Voice months ago.
Hummm! Whats going to happen to the CI Session Library LOL!

Every application that works with IP addresses is going to have to be checked, modified, tested, ...
The length is different (database columns or form input fields to small), ip2num constructions no longer work, regex validations fail, there are even apps that authorize based on IP address.
I run the IPv6 program for the government in my region, a two year project that costs a small fortune. Everyone underestimates the impact. You can’t compare this to Y2K: This WILL have impact if you don’t act.

Oh! I can understand it, I was a Cobol programmer back when the Y2K hit I was getting $90.00 and hour to fix it and still had to turn customers down because of no time I was booked!
Made a fortune on that one LOL!
From the last I read PHP.net is still having problems getting the IPV6 working correct.
I see a nightmare coming!
I am going to start writing my own routines, just to be safe.
