ldap_list
Single-level search
Description
LDAP\Resultarrayfalse ldap_list(
LDAP\Connectionarray $ldap,
arraystring $base,
arraystring $filter,
array $attributes = [],
int $attributes_only = 0,
int $sizelimit = -1,
int $timelimit = -1,
int $deref = LDAP_DEREF_NEVER,
arraynull $controls = null
)
LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL means that the search should only
return information that is at the level immediately below the
base given in the call.
(Equivalent to typing "ls" and getting a list of files and folders in the
current working directory.)
It is also possible to perform parallel searches. In this case, the first argument should be an array of
LDAP\Connection instances, rather than a single one.
If the searches should not all use the same base DN and filter, an array of base DNs and/or an array of filters can be passed as arguments instead.
These arrays must be of the same size as the LDAP\Connection instances array,
since the first entries of the arrays are used for one search, the second entries are used for another, and so on.
When doing parallel searches an array of LDAP\Result instances is returned, except in case of error, when the return value will be false.
Parameters
-
ldap
-
An LDAP\Connection instance, returned by ldap_connect.
-
base
-
The base DN for the directory.
-
filter
-
-
attributes
-
An array of the required attributes, e.g. array("mail", "sn", "cn").
Note that the "dn" is always returned irrespective of which attributes
types are requested.
Using this parameter is much more efficient than the default action
(which is to return all attributes and their associated values).
The use of this parameter should therefore be considered good
practice.
-
attributes_only
-
Should be set to 1 if only attribute types are wanted. If set to 0
both attributes types and attribute values are fetched which is the
default behaviour.
-
sizelimit
-
Enables you to limit the count of entries fetched. Setting this to 0
means no limit.
Note:
This parameter can NOT override server-side preset sizelimit. You can
set it lower though.
Some directory server hosts will be configured to return no more than
a preset number of entries. If this occurs, the server will indicate
that it has only returned a partial results set. This also occurs if
you use this parameter to limit the count of fetched entries.
-
timelimit
-
Sets the number of seconds how long is spend on the search. Setting
this to 0 means no limit.
Note:
This parameter can NOT override server-side preset timelimit. You can
set it lower though.
-
deref
-
Specifies how aliases should be handled during the search. It can be
one of the following:
-
LDAP_DEREF_NEVER - (default) aliases are never
dereferenced.
-
LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING - aliases should be
dereferenced during the search but not when locating the base object
of the search.
-
LDAP_DEREF_FINDING - aliases should be
dereferenced when locating the base object but not during the search.
-
LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS - aliases should be dereferenced
always.
-
controls
-
Array of LDAP Controls to send with the request.
Return Values
Returns an LDAP\Result instance, an array of LDAP\Result instances, or false on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Produce a list of all organizational units of an organization
<?php
// $ds is a valid LDAP\Connection instance for a directory server
$basedn = "o=My Company, c=US";
$justthese = array("ou");
$sr = ldap_list($ds, $basedn, "ou=*", $justthese);
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
for ($i=0; $i < $info["count"]; $i++) {
echo $info[$i]["ou"][0];
}
?>
