Package Proposal - LDAP_DataObject

Based around the DB_DataObject API (and some degree the code), I've been working on a similar Object for LDAP - obviously there are some major differences.. but the end usage is pretty similar to DB_DataObject.. summary - there are no keys in LDAP = the dn= is the key... - the 'end user' extended classes are collections or singular wrappers around LDAP classes. (stored in $object->_objectclasses - which is used to generate the full objectclass list) - The validate routine does checks on MUST have and (eventually singular) requirements - based around an ini file generated from my ldap schema viewer.. - There's alot more work dealing with object variables (which end up as arrays when you fetch) - whereAdd builds ldap queries and expects things like cn=acded and formats LDAP queries appropriatly.. - the classic $object->cn = 'xyz', $object->find() work. - some support for $object->limit(10,20); - no support for orderBy() currently - addition of $object->base() is needed for find() - currently no support for non standard ldap classes (although adding this should not be too dificult.. - tested so far with find/get/insert and update (no delete tests yet).. Code: http://devel.akbkhome.com/LDAP_DataObject/DataObject.php.txt Very Simple demo http://devel.akbkhome.com/LDAP_DataObject/demo.php.txt The LDAP datatype Ini file http://devel.akbkhome.com/LDAP_DataObject/ldap.ini.txt And a fun demo of it working in a bigger application.. (probably only online for a limited time - so if you read this in the archives it may not work...) http://devel.akbkhome.com/timesheets/index.php/LDAPbrowse/Person.html add a few +1 at the top... -- I suggest it goes in the Database Category - although remains being called LDAP_DataObject.. - unless anyone has better ideas :) Regards Alan -- Can you help out?
