Re: LDAP thoughts?

thanks for responding. i guess i don't have any birlliant ideas besides wrapping the ldap functions. i make the point of pear/DB becaused i've observed some similarities with a possible LDAP framework. these similarities include parseDSN(), connect(), query() (search() in the case of ldap), and their connect/result/pear_error objects. why does pear DB have the monopoly on DSNs. because LDAP has a URL format: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2255.txt or should i not be confusing DSNs with URLs? either way, the parseDSN algorithm would be helpful for URl support in a pear ldap package. aaron Stig wrote: > "Aaron S.
