LdapFind

Syntax

LdapFind(connName, base, search);

connName	The identifier specified in the LdapConnect call.
base	The base entry from which to start searching for the specified user ID.
search	A search string in LDAP search syntax.

Description

Finds entries in the LDAP directory using an LDAP query.

Returns

resultID	The function call returns the resultID of the result set, i.e. the set of entries that match the search string. The resultID can be used in LdapGetEntry calls to retrieve the individual entries from the result set.
""	An empty string is returned if the search fails.

Example

$customer=ldapFind("con","dc=streamserve,dc=com", "cn="+$customer_no);

In this example, the ldapFind function locates all entries that match the specified search string and stores the resultID in the customer variable. The customer variable can then be used in calls to LdapGetEntry to extract the actual entry, or entries, that matched the search.
