ldap_get_values - Get all values from a result entry

SYNOPSIS
       array ldap_get_values (resource	$link_identifier, resource  $result_entry_identifier, string  $attribute)

DESCRIPTION
	Reads all the values of the attribute in the entry in the result.

	This  call  needs a $result_entry_identifier, so needs to be preceded by one of the ldap search calls and one of the calls to get an indi-
       vidual entry.

	You application will either be hard coded to look for certain attributes (such as "surname" or	"mail")  or  you  will	have  to  use  the
       ldap_get_attributes(3) call to work out what attributes exist for a given entry.

PARAMETERS
	      o $link_identifier
		- An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect(3).

	      o $result_entry_identifier
		-

	      o $attribute
		-

RETURN VALUES
	Returns  an  array of values for the attribute on success and FALSE on error. The number of values can be found by indexing "count" in the
       resultant array. Individual values are accessed by integer index in the array. The first index is 0.

	LDAP allows more than one entry for an attribute, so it can, for example, store a number of email addresses  for  one  person's  directory
       entry all labeled with the attribute "mail"

	   return_value[0] = first value of attribute
	   return_value[i] = ith value of attribute

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

	      List all values of the "mail" attribute for a directory entry

	      <?php
	      // $ds is a valid link identifier for a directory server

	      // $sr is a valid search result from a prior call to
	      //     one of the ldap directory search calls

	      // $entry is a valid entry identifier from a prior call to
	      //	one of the calls that returns a directory entry

	      $values = ldap_get_values($ds, $entry, "mail");

	      echo $values["count"] . " email addresses for this entry.<br />";

	      for ($i=0; $i < $values["count"]; $i++) {
		  echo $values[$i] . "<br />";
	      }
	      ?>
