* Result set of an LDAP search
* @author Benedikt Hallinger <beni@php.net>
* @version $Revision: 1.19 $
* Search result identifier
* A reference of the Net_LDAP object for passing to Net_LDAP_Entry
* Result entry identifier
* The errorcode the search got
* Some errorcodes might be of interest, but might not be best handled as errors.
* examples: 4 - LDAP_SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED - indicates a huge search.
* Incomplete results are returned. If you just want to check if there's anything in the search.
* than this is a point to handle.
* 32 - no such object - search here returns a count of 0.
var $_errorCode = 0; // if not set - sucess!
* What attributes we searched for
* The $attributes array contains the names of the searched attributes and gets
* passed from $Net_LDAP->search() so the Net_LDAP_Search object can tell
* what attributes was searched for ({@link _searchedAttrs())}
* This variable gets set from the constructor and returned
* from {@link _searchedAttrs()}
var $_searchedAttrs = array ();
* @param resource $search Search result identifier
* @param Net_LDAP|resource$ldap Net_LDAP object or just a LDAP-Link resource
* @param array $attributes (optional) Array with searched attribute names. (see {@link $_searchedAttrs})
$this->PEAR ('Net_LDAP_Error');
if (is_a($ldap, 'Net_LDAP')) {
$this->_errorCode = @ldap_errno ($this->_link);
if (is_array($attributes) && !empty ($attributes)) {
$this->_searchedAttrs = $attributes;
* Returns an assosiative array of entry objects
* @return array Array of entry objects.
* Get the next entry in the searchresult.
* @return Net_LDAP_Entry|false Reference to Net_LDAP_Entry object or false
if ($this->count() == 0 ) {
$this->_entry = @ldap_first_entry ($this->_link, $this->_search);
if (!$this->_entry = @ldap_next_entry ($this->_link, $this->_entry)) {
* alias function of shiftEntry() for perl-ldap interface
* Retrieve the last entry of the searchset. NOT IMPLEMENTED
PEAR ::raiseError ("Not implemented");
* Return entries sorted as array
* This returns a array with sorted entries and the values.
* Sorting is done with PHPs {@link array_multisort()}.
* This method relies on {@link as_struct()} to fetch the raw data of the entries.
* Please note that attribute names are case sensitive!
* // to sort entries first by location, then by surename, but descending:
* $entries = $search->sorted_as_struct(array('locality','sn'), SORT_DESC);
* @param array $attrs Array of attribute names to sort; order from left to right.
* @param int $order Ordering direction, either constant SORT_ASC or SORT_DESC
* @return array|Net_LDAP_Error Array with sorted entries or error
* Old Code, suitable and fast for single valued sorting
* This code should be used if we know that single valued sorting is desired,
* but we need some method to get that knowledge...
