I'm doing a bunch of LDAP work with PHP-4.3.6 and keep running up
against this annoyance. If I do an ldap_search() and get the first
entry, I can't then tweak some of the attribute/values and then
directly use ldap_add() to put a new version into the directory. The
reason is that the ldap_get_entries() function returns any array or
sub-array with a gratuitous "count" index.
For example, the following code (error checking removed for clarity):
$results = ldap_search($ldapConn, $baseDN, "uid=cshenton");
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldapConn, $results);
$entry = $entries[0];
echo "entry=<pre>" . print_r($entry, true) . "</pre>";
Prints the following (with some tedious attribute/value pairs removed):
entry=
Array
(
[cn] => Array
(
[count] => 1
[0] => Chris Shenton-2
)
[0] => cn
[sn] => Array
(
[count] => 1
[0] => Shenton
)
[1] => sn
[objectclass] => Array
(
[count] => 2
[0] => inetOrgPerson
[1] => qmailUser
)
...
[count] => 14
[dn] => cn=Chris Shenton-2,ou=Headquarters,o=National Aeronautics and Space
Administration,c=us
)
My code then fiddles with the old DN to create a new entry, then tries
to add it to LDAP:
if (! ldap_add($ldapConn, $newDN, $entry)) {
die("ldap_add failed, errno=". ldap_errno($ldapConn) . ": "
. ldap_error($ldapConn));
}
It fails (but oddly, ldap_error() reports Success). The problem is
the 'count' and attribute-named indices (e.g., 'sn') in addition to
the numeric indices:
Warning: ldap_add(): Value array must have consecutive indices 0, 1, ... in
/home/cshenton/public_html/newhorseadmin/ldap_search_add_test.php on line 45
ldap_add failed, errno=0: Success
Am I missing something or is it not possible to simply take a search
result, then add it back? Seems I have to strip out all these
gratuitous 'count' and non-numeric indices each time, which isn't
intuitive, obvious, or the most direct way of doing things.
Thanks.
