Search

// Building a very basic filter
// we want to find all Entries whose surnames start with "Joe":
$filter = Net_LDAP_Filter::create('sn', 'begins',  'Joe');

// We define a custom searchbase here. If you pass NULL, the basedn provided
// in the Net_LDAP configuration will be used. This is often not what you want.
$searchbase = 'ou=addressbook,dc=example,dc=org';

// Some options:
// We search all subtrees beneath 'ou=addressbook,dc=example,dc=org'
// and we select the attribute 'sn'. It is a good practice to limit the
// requested attributes to only those you actually want to use later.
$options = array(
    'scope' => 'sub',
    'attributes' => array('sn')
);

// Perform the search!
$search = $ldap->search($searchbase, $filter, $options);

// Test for search errors:
if (PEAR::isError($search)) {
    die($search->getMessage() . "\n");
}

// Say how many entries we have found:
echo "Found " . $search->count() . " entries!";
