Just >curious. 0 = both attributes types + values fetched 1 = only attributes types. And dn is included with value, of course. This is documented in CVS. I don't know how often the online manual is updated from those XML-files. For your convinience, here's short description: int ldap_search (int link_identifier, string base_dn, string filter [,array attributes [, intattrsonly [, int sizelimit [, int timelimit [, int deref]]]]]) These parameters apply to ldap_read() and ldap_list() also. Sorry about alignment..I'm in a hurry now! =) <-- cut from manual (CVS) --> The fifth parameter attrsonly should be set to 1 if only attribute types are wanted. If set to 0 both attributes types and attribute values are fetched which is the default behaviour. With the sixth parameter sizelimit it is possible to limit the count of entries fetched. Setting this to 0 means no limit. NOTE: This parameter can NOT override server-side preset sizelimit. You can set it lower though. The seventh parameter timelimit sets the number of seconds how long is spend on the search. Setting this to 0 means no limit. NOTE: This parameter can NOT override server-side preset timelimit. You can set it lower though. The eigth parameter deref specifies how aliases should be handled during the search. It can be one of the following: * LDAP_DEREF_NEVER - (default) aliases are never dereferenced. * LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING - aliases should be dereferenced during the search but not when locating the base object of the search. * LDAP_DEREF_FINDING - aliases should be dereferenced when locating the base object but not during the search. * LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS - aliases should be dereferenced always. <-- CUT --> --Jani
