This would work if the elements were named as
predefined LDAP attributes. ldap_add() expects an
array as the last argument.

I guess this is my question, and I'm sorry for the
confusion: With LDAP can I make my own schema
(attributes and/or objectclass) or am I locked in to
using the predefines (ie. person,inetorgperson,etc)?
The predefined objects/attribs don't really fit what I
need.
I would like to be able to create myObjectclass with
my own (all plaintext strings) attributes (firstname,
lastname, extension, etc) instead of the standard
cn,sn, etc.
Maybe MySQL is more what I need/want.
Thank you,
