Using PHP With LDAP (part 1) - Code Poet
(Page 4 of 6 )
Now that all the requirements are in place, let's put together a simple PHP script to connect to the LDAP server and display the contents of the directory. Take a look at the following code.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// specify the LDAP server to connect to
$conn = ldap_connect("localhost") or die("Could not connect to server");
// bind to the LDAP server specified above
$r = ldap_bind($conn) or die("Could not bind to server");
// start searching
// specify both the start location and the search criteria
// in this case, start at the top and return all entries $result =
ldap_search($conn,"dc=my-domain,dc=com", "(cn=*)") or die ("Error in search
query");
// get entry data as array
$info = ldap_get_entries($conn, $result);
// iterate over array and print data for each entry
for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++)
{
echo "dn is: ". $info[$i]["dn"] ."<br>";
echo "first cn is: ". $info[$i]["cn"][0] ."<br>";
echo "first email address is: ". $info[$i]["mail"][0] ."<p>"; }
// print number of entries found
echo "Number of entries found: " . ldap_count_entries($conn, $result) .
"<p>";
// all done? clean up
ldap_close($conn);
?>
</body>
</html>
Run the script in your browser, and you should see something
like this:
