[PHP] Problem retrieving CN with ldap_search()
Hi all,
I've posted this question to comp.lang.php a couple of days ago, but up
till now didn't get a really useful answer. So, here it is:
I' m facing the following problem. I try to retrieve the Common Name
(cn) from an LDAP database, using the commands:
$result = ldap_search($ldap,$basedn, 'mail='.$email, array('dn','cn'));
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
The weird thing is that $entries[0]['cn'] is empty. I know the search
command succeeded, because $entries[0]['dn'] contains the correct
information. Furthermore, if I issue the following commands:
$result = ldap_search($ldap,$basedn, 'mail='.$email);
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);
var_dump($entries);
I get:
array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> array(24) { ["objectclass"]=>
array(4) { ["count"]=> int(3) [0]=> string(13)
"shadowAccount" [1]=> string(12) "posixAccount" [2]=> string(13)
"inetOrgPerson" } [0]=> string(11) "objectclass" ["gecos"]=>
array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(12) "Marcel Loose" }
[1]=> string(5) "gecos" ["uid"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(5) "loose" } [2]=> string(3) "uid" ["sn"]=> array(2)
{ ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(5) "Loose" } [3]=> string(2)
"sn" ["givenname"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(6)
"Marcel" } [4]=> string(9) "givenname" ["uidnumber"]=> array(2)
{ ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=> string(3) "511" } [5]=> string(9)
"uidnumber" ["mail"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=>
string(15) "lo...@astron.nl" } [6]=> string(4)
"mail" ["gidnumber"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1) [0]=>
string(4) "1000" } [7]=> string(9)
"gidnumber" ["shadowlastchange"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(5) "14127" } [8]=> string(16)
"shadowlastchange" ["homedirectory"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(11) "/home/loose" } [9]=> string(13)
"homedirectory" ["loginshell"]=> array(2) { ["count"]=> int(1)
[0]=> string(9) "/bin/bash" } [10]=> string(10)
"loginshell" ["count"]=> int(11) ["dn"]=> string(35)
"uid=loose,ou=people,dc=astron,dc=nl" } }
As can be seen, the Common Name (cn), is mysteriously missing. The
information IS present in the LDAP database, though. Here's a snippet
of the output of 'slapcat', for the given user:
dn: uid=loose,ou=people,dc=astron,dc=nl
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
gecos: Marcel Loose
uid: loose
sn: Loose
givenName: Marcel
structuralObjectClass: inetOrgPerson
entryUUID: 2375bf08-e435-102b-8b97-3952138d3cf7
creatorsName: cn=Manager,dc=astron,dc=nl
createTimestamp: 20070821132115Z
uidNumber: 511
mail: lo...@astron.nl
gidNumber: 1000
shadowLastChange: 14127
cn: Marcel Loose
userPassword:: <>
homeDirectory: /home/loose
loginShell: /bin/bash

modifiersName: cn=Manager,dc=astron,dc=nl
modifyTimestamp: 20100104140045Z
Am I using ldap_search() incorrectly? Or is this a problem with the
PHP-LDAP module? Or is it a caused by a misconfiguration of LDAP?
Best regards,
Marcel Loose.

[PHP] Reading Encrypted Password From MySQLDB

Problem:
All users registered through registration page, can't login/get error message.
When the password is first written to the db from the registration.php it's
assigned a unique number. The problem seems to be in aligning how it's
validated by the login.php script.
If I manually enter a new user field with the password written directly into
the phpMyAdmin, then the login accepts the manually entered user and password
at login.php and transfers to the members page.
All others get the Error: "Sorry, could not log you in. Wrong login
information."
Can someone please enlighten me as to why registration.php seems to write to
the db and the login.php can read/validate from the manual input field but not
know what the key to understanding the password's uniquely generated id
assigned by the actual registration.php to the password field?
Thanks,

Re: [PHP] Re: UK Project Opportunity
This thread's getting a bit tired but here's my $0.02 worth. I've always found the phpclasses website a bit confusing to navigate and I've never had much success finding what I want. But it's free and as a non-paying customer I don't feel entitled to complain, when probably a bit more work from me would find what I was looking for. As for advertising, well so what. It's there and my eye is pretty well trained to ignore it. No big deal to me, and if it's a necessary thing to pay for a free site, then so be it. The site could do with an easier interface and I look forward to seeing it in action, but I think it's a bit too much to complain and swear and criticize the owner if you're not paying for what he provides. And if you are paying, then you can't honestly say you didn't know what you were signing up for. The information is all there if you take the time and trouble to find it.

Re: [PHP] Re: UK Project Opportunity
Normally I would just stay out of a public thread on such a subject, but Rixham and I had a discussion about the site prior to his posting here, and I may as well make my point known My problem - and indeed, it is a problem - is not with the design, usability, or lack thereof. It's also not in the business practices and profitability. Everyone needs to make money, and I think it's great that Manuel has managed to do so in doing something he loves. My problem is with Manuel's practices of advertising the site. In all of the years I've been involved with PHP, both officially and as a part of the community, all I've seen you (Manuel) contribute to the community is a health dose of "go to my website." You've never (or, perhaps so rarely it seems as though you've never) offered advice, assistance, or free code without the guise of, "go to phpclasses.org." To me, it's completely out of the spirit of open source, and puts a thin veil over - however unintentional it may be - extremely disgusting practices of advertising. I've avoided saying anything negative about it on the list through the years, but seriously, enough is enough, and something has to be said. And you can trust me that I'm *not* the only one who thinks that. I know of a lot of people who filter messages from you into the trash or SPAM folder because the response is always the same, and usually useless, overall. Again, it's nothing against your site. The site can actually be pretty useful but how about just adding it as a signature to your email and actually posting FREE, USEFUL material relevant to the topic? Stop using mailing lists and forums as a free treasure trove of opportunity for advertising your services and pay it back in a way: by actually contributing something to the community, completely selfless, with no ulterior motive. You think the site is seeing some success now? Wait until you try that and see how good quality traffic increases in a few months. You'll be well-rewarded, I would almost guarantee it. Still, if the only reason you're here is to increase your visibility and profitability, then your *credibility* is, in my opinion, null. And while that may not matter to you, it should; even if it's just one voice, my voice is representative of the greater part of the community on the issue. Though it should also be noted that it's not just about you, but as a whole. Open source communities should *NEVER, EVER* be considered a venue for commercial advertisements. Some will make their way in, and I'm guilty of that offense myself (though I've pruned my signature to reduce the irony herein). The difference is that myself (and several others who come immediately to mind) have offered substance, fostering the community to incredible worth that will benefit future generations of technical professionals and hobbyists. Maybe some commercial gains came of it for some, but I would like to think that fame and money weren't the motive for involvement. If that were one's only reason for being a part of the community, why in the world would I respect that individual enough to support them? And if that were to become an acceptable practice in any open source project or community to allow it, even to ignore it, I would resign, because my own efforts and passion would be wasted, hidden in a pile of useless information and competition, all losing sight of what the actual spirit was in the first place. Think of it this way: if there were a commercial-only list here at php.net, would you subscribe and read posts by other senders? Knowing that all they are doing is advertising a service, you really couldn't reply by saying, "this is better, so use this instead." Very, very few - if any - would actually subscribe to the list. Those who did would likely be there only to post, not to read. And those few remaining would undoubtedly be trying frantically to unsubscribe after a few messages, both ruing and lamenting the day their curiosity got the best of them. We all hate SPAM, and I'm sure you do as well, Manuel. I doubt you read ads and say, "Wow! What a great price for v!...@. Where did I put my credit card?" (It's used as an example, by the way. I have no intention of or interest in getting into a discussion as to whether or not anyone needs any assistance in that area, of course. ;-P) However, if someone were to continuously offer assistance to their peers, I would still get the message and be reminded of the advertisement of their services with a simple signature link. I think I've visited every website by every moderate or major contributor to this list alone in the last ten years --- no joke. And I've bought things from them, helped them land jobs, and even hired some of them myself the common thing with all of them is that they never outright asked or advertised. It was a subtle hint nestled beneath a mountain of valuable information. That said, I actually do

Criticism is welcome when it is constructive, regardless whether you are paying or not to use the site. My greatest problem with criticism is when it is vague. For instance "confusing to navigate" and "easier interface" is vague. It would be more helpful if you say what exactly is confusing you when you navigate the site, as I am not capable to imagine what goes on in your mind that you find confusing. Actually, better than that, would be specific suggestions to make it less confusing for you, if you would not mind going further than just pointing what is not good for you. When it comes to not finding what you are looking for, as I mentioned before, a few months ago the site search pages for non-premium users was improved to split results in tabs according to the page section they belong. I wonder if you have seen that already and if that would help in making it better for you. Just go on the site search pages and check it out if you have not done it already. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

It seems that if I use loadXML($string) and the $string has a namespace

It seems to be related to the "xml" island concept of (x)html 5 where
for compatibility with IE and MathType etc. an xmlns is declared as an
attribute but a prefix isn't declared (IE no m:math).
To solve it, on the buffered string that gets imported I run:
function nsIsland($string) {
$search[] = "/]*/";
$replace[] = "(I assume I may have to add a search/replace for svg) - then after
import I look for math nodes and add the xmlns attribute back to them,
and it seems to work.
A bit hackish, I'm guessing a future version of DOMDocument may take the
html5 "xml island" into consideration, but this works now.

I've avoided saying I don't know what you think it is the "Open Source spirit". For me is sharing the source of code that solves user problems. That is what I share in the PHPClasses site: I share my PHP source code. It seems you are complaining that I do not post the source code here. I do not think that would be viable, as most solutions that I refer have thousands of lines of code. Sharing large pieces of code is what repositories like PHPClasses are for. What about you?

That is your opinion because you seem to be biased and you just do not seem to want that I post any sort of help at all, otherwise you would not ignored the countless times that I bothered to come here and post replies that do not lead people to the PHPClasses site.

The site can actually be I doubt that. You seem to be contradicting yourself. First you complain that I lead people to the PHPClasses site, then you claim you have nothing against the site.

Sounds ridiculous. > pretty useful but how about just adding it as a signature to your > email and actually posting FREE, USEFUL material relevant to the What are you talking about? I only post free material here. I do not sell code. All the code I distribute is open source. If you do not find it useful just because I make the code available in the PHPClasses site, that is your opinion. Assuming that everybody finds it useless it is just a biased complaint. If you search the archives of the list you will find plenty of other users recommending code that is in the PHPClasses site, either mine or from others.
