note 46743 added to function.ldap-add

Be careful with types. PHP switches automatically between strings and numbers, but LDAP doesn't, and PHP will send whatever is most convenient for PHP, not LDAP, unless you specify a type. If you inadvertently send a number as a string, you will get an error: "ldap_add(): Add: Invalid syntax in [filename] on line LINENUM." Observe this example which makes an array to send to LDAP to create a POSIX group. Note that $new_groupid, which is technically a string, must be typecast with (int). $new_ldap_group['cn'] = $groupname; $new_ldap_group['objectclass'][0] = 'posixgroup'; $new_ldap_group['objectclass'][1] = 'top'; $new_ldap_group['gidnumber'] = (int) $new_groupid; ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-add.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46743 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46743&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46743&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
