Doing a change such as this in a minor version upgrade: yes, I agree. It's not something people should be confronted with going from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5. However, I think the current behaviour of ldap_search() is inconsistent enough that it eventually could and should be changed, and not by adding another optional parameter. One could also note that the current documentation of ldap_search() is vague enough that it doesn't have to be changed even if the behaviour is changed the way Stig outlines. ;-) -- Øyvind Møll <oyvindmo@initio.no> Initio IT-løsninger AS <URL: http://www.initio.no/ >
