PHP 4.0 Bug #5702: Inserting an uploaded JPEG file into Openldap

From: john.hallam@compaq.com Operating system: SuSE Linux 6.3 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: LDAP related Bug description: Inserting an uploaded JPEG file into Openldap I'm having trouble inserting a JPEG file into the jpegphoto attribute (Openldap 1.2.11). From the documentation I have read I should be storing a base64 value in the jpegphoto attribute. I have managed to insert the photo with an ldap client and then made an LDIF extract to look at the base64 encoding. When I try to insert the jpegphoto with PHP, the base64 encoding is identical (I did an "echo" to print things on the screen) as to what I see with the LDIF extract. When I look at the openldap database I see totally different values than what I expect. When I insert the jpegphoto with an LDAP client (LDAP Browser/Editor by Jarek Gawor - freeware) I can display the photo with the Netscape browser and I can see the base64 encoding correctly on the slapd server. Here is the php code excerpt that shows you what I am doing :- // Get the JPEG file. $AttributeValue is the JPEG file to upload if ($Str_or_Bin == "binary") { if (!$file=fopen($AttributeValue, "r")) { print "<h3>Error: Upload of binary file failed</h3>"; exit; } else { $AttributeValue = chunk_split(base64_encode(fread($file,"$AttributeValue_size"))); fclose($file); } } . . . . // Insert JPEG file into LDAP database // $AttributeValue contains the base64 encoding // $AttributeName is jpegphoto <?php $info[$AttributeName] = $AttributeValue; // Example of the echo printout after this code echo "AND KNOW IT IS ".$info[$AttributeName]."<br><br><br>"; @$ds=ldap_connect($Host); if ($ds) { @$r=ldap_bind($ds, $AdminDN, $Password); if ($r) { @$result = ldap_mod_add($ds, $PersonDN, $info); if ($result) { print '<h3>Addition Successful</h3>'; . . Here is what the 'echo "AND KNOW IT IS ".$info[$AttributeName]."<br><br><br>";' gives me AND KNOW IT IS /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAwICQoJBwwKCgoNDQwOEh4TEhAQEiQaGxUeKyYtLCom KSkvNUQ6LzJAMykpO1E8QEZJTE1MLjlUWlNKWURLTEn/2wBDAQ0NDRIQEiMTEyNJMSkxSUlJSUlJ SUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUn/wAARCAH0AXcDASIA AhEBAxEB/8QAHwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQA AAF9AQIDAAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3 . . . f+poooQDQoY8+hoI+Zvx5/OiimA3HzUoP8qKKAQjHjdgZNRk4XjiiigQgPT60buM4HFFFABn5qlI 5xzRRSew1uN3GnKxJOcevSiilEOoucZ9hn9aVeU5J4Jx+n+NFFMAT5mA/vcH8qFOSM+tFFMB3Rd3 f/P+FIScg/7JP8/8KKKAEf8A1hH1FOx85X37/XH9aKKXQBNxAznPzYp3oOzdfyoooGOAznt0PH50 0jGD7f0oooQCkct/n1/wpzoBzkk+/wBKKKQEX8J+ooooplI//9k= Is there a bug or am I doing something wrong ?? I've spent days trying to get it right/searching for an answer and I even upgraded from php3.0.14/openldap-1.2.10 so I'd be very grateful for any input.
