note 63909 added to function.ldap-search

If you are just trying to run LDAP searches against Active Directory, you might find it easier to use the COM objects and use the ADSI ldap search function. This allows you to use SQL based LDAP queries. It also allows you to perform subtree level searches in AD. Here is a quick example. <?php $Conn = New COM("ADODB.Connection"); $RS = New COM("ADODB.Recordset"); $Conn->Provider = "ADsDSOObject"; $Conn->Properties['User ID'] = "CN=ZimZam,CN=Users,DC=corp,DC=ad,DC=bob,DC=prv"; $Conn->Properties['Password'] = "anythingyouwant"; $strConn = "Active Directory Provider"; $Conn->Open($strConn); $strRS = "Select givenname,sn,displayName,mail,SAMAccountName from 'LDAP://corp.ad.bob.prv/DC=corp,DC=ad,DC=bob,DC=prv' where objectClass='user' and SAMAccountName='abc123'; $RS->Open($strRS, $Conn, 1, 1); echo $RS['givenname'] ." - ". $RS['sn'] ." - ". $RS['displayName'] ." - ". $RS['mail'] ." - ". $RS['SAMAccountName'] ."<br>"; $RS->Close; $Conn->Close; ?> ---- Server IP: 66.207.199.35 Probable Submitter: 207.229.3.97 (proxied: 1.0 ASCUCBASX_01) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.0 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER, HTML_MESSAGE,UPPERCASE_25_50 autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-search.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63909 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63909 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63909 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
