LDAP ORM Examples

Querying

Find All Records with cn=TestGroup

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$res = $ldap->find('all', array('conditions' => "cn=testGroup"), 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com');

Alternatively the above query can be written using the findAllBy magic method:

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$res = $ldap->findAllByCn("testGroup", 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com');

Search by DN

$res = $ldap->findByDn($dn);

Saving Record

$dn = $ldap->dnBuilder(array('cn' => 'TestInsert2'), 'ou=People,dc=example,dc=com');
$data = array(
	'green' => 'fsdfsd',
	'sn' => 'Test Insert',
	'objectClass' => array('person', 'top')
);

$ldap->save($dn, $data, false);

With the last parameter = false, the default, any attribute being saved that does not exist in schema will be removed from the data set before submitting to LDAP server avoiding errors. Setting to true or 'strict mode' will return false and set an error and will not submit to LDAP server.

Helpers

Get/Show Error

Get or Show Last Error

$ldap->getError();
$ldap->showError(); // will auto echo with formatting

DN Builder

A helper function to build a DN based on a baseDN is included

$dn = $ldap->buildDN(array('cn' => 'Test', 'ou'=>'Staff'), 'dc=example,dc=com');

Result: cn=Test,ou=Staff,dc=example,dc=com
