I while back I've written a query-generator for LDAP and SQL which used a pseudo language. A worked very well, but in the end I more a less wanted SQL-query syntax for LDAP. SELECT cn, street FROM ou=users, dc=kneschke, dc=de WHERE sn LIKE '%c' SCOPE subtree would become ldap_search($dh, "ou=users, dc=kneschke, dc=de", "(sn=*c)", array("cn","street")); > Lukas Smith Jan -- mailto: jan@kneschke.de weigon @ #php.de (IRCnet) http://jan.kneschke.de weigon @ #modlogan (openprojects)
