note 41759 added to function.ldap-sort

If you want to sort the search results based on any attribute reverse, please do not use the examples above containing two loops! You will end up in changing php.ini with increasing the value of 'max_execution_time' dramatically. No one will use your website again! I have used the following construct and it works very well: // write this function function myReverseCnCmp( $a, $b ) { // Note: $b comes before $a because of reverse ordering return strcasecmp( $b[cn][0], $a[cn][0] ); } // search $sr = ldap_search( $ds, $baseDn, $filter ); // before reading the entries, you must sort normally // in my example I use the attribute 'cn' for sorting // instead of cn you can use any other attribute ldap_sort( $ds, $sr, "cn" ) // read the entries $entries = ldap_get_entries( $ds, $sr ); // now sort the array reverse with usort usort( $entries, "myReverseCnCmp" ); // now $entries is sorted reverse based on "cn" // This runs at least 5 times faster than the double loop // solutions // Note: If you want to sort reverse based on dynamic // attribute names, you must do some if's or switch'es, // but it's really fast! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-sort.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41759 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41759&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41759&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
