Chris,
Thanks for your help. Currently, I am binding with this line:
$ldap->bind("cn=WVAdmin,cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us");
and the return code is 0 which I understand indicates success. However,
the search result is limited to the single object
'cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us' despite the presence of several objects with
dn's like cn=<name>,cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us.
I've suspected that maybe I simply don't understand the search mechanism.
I had assumed that the base of cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us would direct the
search through elements with dn's ending with the string '
cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us' like
cn=<name>,cn=examplename,st=wv,c=us. Is this a correct assumption?
Thanks,
Sonya

The die() will not be called unless there was some problem constructing
the
operation to send to the server. To find out what's happened to the search
you should look at the values of $mesg->code, $mesg->error_name, and
$mesg->error_text afterwards, ie before your foreach loop.
I also believe MAD requires you to bind before allowing a search
operation.
Cheers,
Chris
