Re: modify DNs in PHP

[Daniell Freed <dxf@dewittross.net>]

If this is the case the same thing can be accomplished with a little elbow grease.  I mentioned in an earlier posting but my message 
came through as garbage so I thought it worth mentioning again. 

To accomplish a dn change you can: 

$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; 
// you may want to make some other changes to $newinfo as well .... 

$addresult = ldap_add ($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 and filled in :)).

Hello! 

I must make a note here. There isn't a function that is called 
ldap_modrdn2 in PHP. But in C API there is.
