note 77113 added to function.ldap-add

In response to: Note that you cannot use base64 encoding, you have to use utf-8 encoding for special chars instead. -- I have found that if I have a special character (or a newline) that ldap_add and ldap_modify will automatically do the base64 encoding for you. For example: <?php // assuming binding is done, etc. $entry['postalAddress'] = "123 East 456 West\nSuite A103"; ldap_modify($ds, $dn, $entry); ?> The function or server will take the newline and convert it into base64 automatically (same goes for other special characters). You may be able to verify by using a command-line ldapsearch ldapsearch -b "dc=example,dc=com" -x "(cn=Example Person)" postalAddress You'll see that the result comes up as dn: cn=Example Person,dc=example,dc=com postalAddress:: MTIzIEVhc3QgNDU2IFdlc3QKU3VpdGUgQTEwMw== See the double colons after postal address? That's how LDAP states it's base64 encoded in this case. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 208.47.173.116 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-add.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77113 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77113 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77113 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
