Re: modify DNs in PHP

[Daniell Freed <dxf@dewittross.net>]

You can't do this directly with PHP, but you can do it pretty easily with a few lines of code (watch my syntax it may not be perfect): 

$filter  = "(objectclass=*)"; 
$basedn = "cn=john,ou=marketing,dc=company,dc=country"; 
$server = "servername"; 
$bindas = "name"; 
$bindpassword = "password"; 

$Server = ldap_connect.... 
$bind = ldap_bind(.... 
$searchresult = ldap_search($Server, $basedn, $filter); 
$info = get_ldap_entries($Server,$searchresult); 

$newdn = "cn=john,ou=support,dc=company,dc=country"; 
$newinfo = $info[0]; 
$newinfo["dn"] = $newdn; 
$addresult = ldap_add ($Server, $newdn, $newinfo); 
$delresult = ldap_delete($Server, $info[0]["dn"]); 

That should more or less do what you need (once the syntax is cleaned up :)).

hi, 
does anybody know how to change DNs to another one? 
I have this dn: 

cn=john,ou=marketing,dc=company,dc=country 

and I would change it to: 

cn=john,ou=support,dc=company,dc=country 

but when I dont know how to do it in php 
there is a function ldap_modify but its seems to work only with common 
attributes. 

        thanks
