How to add LDAP entries not rooted at country via PHP3

["Yusuf Goolambbas" <yusufg@huge.net>]

System: RH 5.1 with Apache 1.3.3 + mod_perl (static) + mod_php (via
apxs) compiled with openldap 1.0.2

Hi, I have the following schema

dn: provider=bar
provider: bar
objectclass: top

dn: id=yusufg,provider=bar
id: yusufg
password: secret
objectclass: puser

I used ldif2ldbm from the openldap 1.0.2 to add this to my
ldapserver. Tweaked the example ldap php file to read the data from
the server. Now, when I want to add data to the server via PHP 
in the form

<?php
$ds=ldap_connect("localhost",9000);
// assuming the LDAP server is on this host

if ($ds) {
  // bind with appropriate dn to give update access
  $r=ldap_bind($ds,"","");
  
  // prepare data
  $info["id"]="snafu";
  $info["password"] = "microsoft";
  $info["objectclass"]= "puser";
  

  // add data to directory
  $dn1 = "id=" . $info["id"] . "," .  "provider=bar" ;
  echo $dn1 ;

  $r=ldap_add($ds, $dn1 , $info);
  if ($r) {
	echo "Added LDAP data" ;
  }
  else {
	echo "Unable to add LDAP data" ;
  }
  
  ldap_close($ds);
} else {
  echo "Unable to connect to LDAP server"; 
}
?>

My slapd.conf has the following entries

defaultaccess write. 
suffix "provider=bar"

When I execute this PHP file, I get
Warning: LDAP add operation could not be completed

and the error log shows
LDAP: No such object
LDAP: matched: provider=bar

Any ideas where I might be making a mistake

Cheers, Yusuf
