LDAP_GET_ATTRIBUTES(3) 1 LDAP_GET_ATTRIBUTES(3)
ldap_get_attributes - Get attributes from a search result entry
SYNOPSIS
array ldap_get_attributes (resource $link_identifier, resource $result_entry_identifier)
DESCRIPTION
Reads attributes and values from an entry in the search result.
Having located a specific entry in the directory, you can find out what information is held for that entry by using this call. You would
use this call for an application which "browses" directory entries and/or where you do not know the structure of the directory entries. In
many applications you will be searching for a specific attribute such as an email address or a surname, and won't care what other data is
held.
return_value["count"] = number of attributes in the entry
return_value[0] = first attribute
return_value[n] = nth attribute
return_value["attribute"]["count"] = number of values for attribute
return_value["attribute"][0] = first value of the attribute
return_value["attribute"][i] = (i+1)th value of the attribute
PARAMETERS
o $link_identifier
- An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect(3).
o $result_entry_identifier
-
RETURN VALUES
Returns a complete entry information in a multi-dimensional array on success and FALSE on error.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Show the list of attributes held for a particular directory entry
<?php
// $ds is the link identifier for the directory
// $sr is a valid search result from a prior call to
// one of the ldap directory search calls
$entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr);
$attrs = ldap_get_attributes($ds, $entry);
echo $attrs["count"] . " attributes held for this entry:<p>";
for ($i=0; $i < $attrs["count"]; $i++) {
echo $attrs[$i] . "<br />";
}
?>
