I'm not sure what you mean, but when you want to compare the parameter passed in the script you should compare the $1 in the script (think this is very basic)..
so if this is what you want, you should do something like this:

if [ $1 == 'Lond' ]
then
... do something in London ...
else if [ $1 == 'Birm' ]
then
... something in Birmingham ....
fi
fi

But I think I misunderstood the question, so please explain a bit more.

ldap_compare_s

ldap_compare(3LDAP)					      LDAP Library Functions					       ldap_compare(3LDAP)

NAME

       ldap_compare, ldap_compare_s, ldap_compare_ext, ldap_compare_ext_s - LDAP compare operation

SYNOPSIS

       cc[ flag... ] file... -lldap[ library... ]
       #include <lber.h>
       #include <ldap.h>

       int ldap_compare(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr, char *value);

       int ldap_compare_ext(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr,
	    struct berval *bvalue, LDAPControl **serverctrls,
	    LDAPControl **clientctrls,int *msgidp);

       int ldap_compare_ext_s(LDAP *ld, char *dn, char *attr,
	    struct berval *bvalue, LDAPControl **serverctrls,
	    LDAPControl **clientctrls);

DESCRIPTION

       The  ldap_compare_s()  function is used to perform an LDAP compare operation synchronously.  It takes dn, the DN of the entry upon which to
       perform the compare, and attr and value, the attribute type and value to compare to those found in the entry.  It  returns  an  LDAP  error
       code,  which  will  be  LDAP_COMPARE_TRUE if the entry contains the attribute value and LDAP_COMPARE_FALSE if it does not.  Otherwise, some
       error code is returned.

       The ldap_compare() function is used to perform an LDAP compare operation asynchronously.  It takes the same parameters as ldap_compare_s(),
       but  returns  the  message  id  of  the	request  it  initiated.   The  result  of  the	compare  can  be  obtained by a subsequent call to
       ldap_result(3LDAP).

       The  ldap_compare_ext() function initiates an asynchronous compare operation and returns  LDAP_SUCCESS if the request was successfully sent
       to  the	server, or else it returns a LDAP error code if not (see  ldap_error(3LDAP). If successful,  ldap_compare_ext() places the message
       id of the request in  *msgidp. A subsequent call to  ldap_result(), can be used to obtain the result of the add request.

       The  ldap_compare_ext_s() function initiates a synchronous compare operation and as such returns the result of the operation itself.

ERRORS

       ldap_compare_s() returns an LDAP error code which can be interpreted by calling one of  ldap_perror(3LDAP)  and	friends.    ldap_compare()
       returns -1 if something went wrong initiating the request.  It returns the non-negative message id of the request if it was successful.

BUGS

       There is no way to compare binary values using ldap_compare().
