Bug #18023: blank fields in chosen sort order cause decode error

From: patrick.buick@wrx-ca.com Operating system: Windows 2000 Advanced Server PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: LDAP related Bug description: blank fields in chosen sort order cause decode error Using PHP 4.2.1 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server under Apache 1.3.24, I do an LDAP Connect, Bind and Search just fine. I then use the (relatively) new ldap_sort() with a sort order of "sn", with no error returned by the sort routine. When I then attempt a ldap_get_entries on the sorted result, I get a Decoding Error, LDAP error code 0x54. If I ignore the error and print the array, it all prints fine with no errors. (IE: No missing fields etc.) The only oddity I can see in the output data is that one of the "sn" fields is empty and by sort-order gets placed as the first item in the array. I haven't yet tried printing the entire raw array to see if there are any other anomalies introduced into the data that echo "overlooks". So, in Bill 'n Ted's example format: What I did: Obtained LDAP data and sorted it using ldap_sort() by "sn". Attempted to use get_ldap_entries() and got error 0x54 decoding error. What I wanted to happen: I wanted an entry array sorted by "sn". What I got: An error, though if I ignore the error, I got an array sorted by "sn". -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18023&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18023&r=globals
