Bug #4467: putting image into directory

From: edu@weisgerber-online.de Operating system: Linux 2.2.14 (redhat 6.x) PHP version: 3.0.16 PHP Bug Type: LDAP related Bug description: putting image into directory Hi! Just tried to put an image into LDAP directory. ---code--- <? $con=ldap_connect("server",389); $bind=ldap_bind($con); $fp=fopen("/path/file.jpg","r"); $image=fread($fp,filesize("/path/file.jpg")); fclose($fp); $entry[jpegPhoto]=base64_encode($image); $r=ldap_modify($con,"cn=someone,o=bla,c=de",$entry); c=ldap_close($con); ?> ---/code--- This one produces a new (or modified) entry of type jpegPhoto in the directory, but Netscape(4.7) LDAP-client can't read the image. I use OpenLDAP on the server. an "ldif -b jpegPhoto \ <file.jpg >testldif" produces a base64-encoded image. When i insert this image into directory, everything is OK and Netscape displays the right thing. A quick look at the page source results: ldif and base64_encode() produce different code. Question is: why? and: how ca i insert a jpeg into LDAP using php3?
