ID: 12740 User updated by: christian@metamerge.com Reported By: christian@metamerge.com Status: Open Bug Type: LDAP related Operating System: Linux RH 7.1 PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: What would the locale setting change? According to the docs, PHP have a UTF8 internal reprsentation of data...

If this still happens with PHP 4.0.6, reopen. Check also your locale settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-14 09:50:59] sniper@php.net Please include a short example script in this report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-14 09:41:24] christian@metamerge.com Hi, I am working with PHP 4.0.5 and OpenLDAP 2.0.11. I encounter problems when modifying some entries with attributes containing special chars (such as å, ø...). The error returned by the LDAP server is "invalid syntax". I have read some documentation about this. OpenLDAP can accept special chars, provided values are base64-encoded, when we use the tools that come with the application (ldapadd, ldapmodify, etc.). But how to do this from PHP functions? I tried to base64_encode the values, it naturally didn't do the trick (those values were considered as normal, and thus were not decoded - this polutes my directory.) Same goes for urlencoding. Please help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12740&edit=1
