The peer.ldap package implements LDAP (Lighweight Directory Access Protocol) access.

Example (LDAP search)

use peer\ldap\LDAPConnection;
use util\cmd\Console;

$l= new LDAPConnection('ldap://ldap.example.com');
$l->connect();

$search= $l->search(
  'ou=People,dc=OpenLDAP,dc=Org', 
  '(objectClass=*)'
);
  
Console::writeLinef('===> %d entries found', $search->numEntries());
foreach ($search as $result) {
  Console::writeLine('---> ', $result->toString());
}

$l->close();

Example (Modifying an entry)

use peer\ldap\{LDAPConnection, LDAPEntry};

$l= new LDAPConnection('ldap://uid=admin,o=roles,dc=planet-xp,dc=net:password@ldap.example.com');
$l->connect();

with ($entry= $l->read(new LDAPEntry('uid=1549,o=people,dc=planet-xp,dc=net'))); {
  $entry->setAttribute('firstname', 'Timm');

  $l->modify($entry);
}

$l->close();

Example (Adding an entry)

use peer\ldap\{LDAPConnection, LDAPEntry};

$l= new LDAPConnection('ldap://uid=admin,o=roles,dc=planet-xp,dc=net:password@ldap.example.com');
$l->connect();

with ($entry= new LDAPEntry('uid=1549,o=people,dc=planet-xp,dc=net')); {
  $entry->setAttribute('uid', 1549);
  $entry->setAttribute('firstname', 'Timm');
  $entry->setAttribute('lastname', 'Friebe');
  $entry->setAttribute('objectClass', 'xpPerson');

  $l->add($entry);
}

$l->close();

Dynamically creating LDAP queries

If the LDAP queries need to be constructed dynamically the LDAPQuery class provides a printf-style syntax to do so:

use peer\ldap\LDAPQuery;

$res= $ldap->searchBy(new LDAPQuery(
  'o=people,dc=planet-xp,dc=net',
  '(&(objectClass=%c)(|(username=%s)(uid=%d)))',
  'xpPerson',
  'friebe'
  1549
));

When using the "%s" token, the value passed is escaped according to rules in LDAP query syntax. The %c token copies as-is, and %d handles the argument as numeric value.
