Re: Re: [RFC] LDAP EXOP

Hey Côme, hey Andreas.

string|FALSE ldap_exop_whoami(resource $link) - The returned string is the DN of the currently bound user.

In my opinion the code is really ease to read with exceptions. try {

    $user = ldap_exop_whoami($link);

} catch(Throwable $e) { }

string|FALSE ldap_exop_passwd(resource $link [, string $user [, string $oldPassword [, string $newPassword]]] - The returned string is the new password of the user. Either the given newPassword or a newly generated one.

Change password of current user with a random password. ldap_exop_passwd($link); Change password of $user with a random password. ldap_exop_passwd($link, $user); Change $oldPassword of $user with a random password. ldap_exop_passwd($link, $user, $oldPassword); Change $oldPassword of $user to $newPassword. ldap_exop_passwd($link, $user, $oldPassword, $newPassword); As i wrote the four samples, i actually already like the ordering of the arguments as it seems to make sense. How is the behavior of the following? Change $oldPassword of current user to $newPassword? ldap_exop_passwd($link, '', $oldPassword, $newPassword); Change $oldPassword of $user to empty string? Or random? Or is this an error? ldap_exop_passwd($link, $user, $oldPassword, ''); My previous suggestion was to split the function into two versions to reduce the amount of arguments. string|FALSE ldap_exop_passwd(resource $link, string $user, string $newPassword [, string $oldPassword]) string|FALSE ldap_exop_random_passwd(resource $link, string $user [, string $oldPassword])

Or is that complete and utter nonsense?

Maybe, so lets talk about the functions. i dont like the unnecessary references. But if the references makes more sense in this situation, please use them.
