pulling all LDAP fields

biggus

I'm taking over where a 3rd party group left off, but left o docs behind.

We're using iPlanet LDAP with Netscape Console 4.2.

I can add values to a field, say phonenumber in the console, but can't pull them with PHP. I use the code below...

   $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
    print "Data for ".$info["count"]." items returned:<p>";

$which=0;
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($info)){
	print "<h3>Entry=".$key."</h3>";
	for ($g=0; $g<count($val); $g++) {
	print "<b>key </b>".$g."= ".$val[$g]."<b> : value= </b>".$info[$which][$val[$g]][0] ."<br>";
		if(count($info[$which][$val[$g]])>1){
			for ($gg=1; $gg<count($info[$which][$val[$g]]); $gg++) {
					if($info[$which][$val[$g]][$gg]!=""){print "<b>value= </b>".$info[$which][$val[$g]][$gg] ."<br>";}
			}
		}

	}
	$which++;
}

Any ideas? I've looked through the NEtscape Console and iPlanet (now Sun) manuals, but have found nothing that might help me out.

Thanks,

Does $info['count'] return a number? Or is it not there? What error messages, if any, are you getting?

biggus

yes, $info["count"] returns the number of records found. I'm not getting any error messages. I am getting plenty of data back, but only a certain set of attributes, regardless of whether I fill in a field that's usually blank in the Netscape console. The new value shows up again in the console when I search there, so it is getting stored.

Sxooter

OK, then try printing out what you are getting back a piece at a time with implode/array_keys like this:

$vals = ldap_get_entries(arg1,arg2);
print implode(":",array_keys($vals[0]));

and see what you are getting back.

You can use this little script to get some idea:

function arr_x($arr,$level){
        foreach($arr as $k=>$v){
                if (is_array($v)) print arr_x($v,$level++);
                else print str_pad("",$level,".",STR_PADLEFT).$k.":".$v."\n";
        }
}

print arr_x($some_array);

biggus

thank you. I see what I was doing. I needed to pull the attributes as hashes not plain arrays. Your code got me going in the right direction.

Thanks again,
Biggus

actually, found this code on php.net and it works great. Imust have misssed it before. Thanks again Sxooter.

$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
    echo "ph is: ". $info[$i]["telephonenumber"][0] ."<br>";
}
