Example #1 ldap_count_entries example

Retrieve number of entries in the result. 

// $ds is a valid LDAP\Connection instance for a directory server

     $dn        = 'ou=example,dc=org';
     $filter    = '(|(sn=Doe*)(givenname=John*))';
     $justthese = array('ou', 'sn', 'givenname', 'mail');

     $sr = ldap_search($ds, $dn, $filter, $justthese);

     var_dump(ldap_count_entries($ds, $sr));
