Examples

Whoami extended operation

<?php
$ds = ldap_connect("localhost");  // assuming the LDAP server is on this host

if ($ds) {
    // bind with appropriate dn to give update access
    $bind = ldap_bind($ds, "cn=root, o=My Company, c=US", "secret");
    if (!$bind) {
      echo "Unable to bind to LDAP server";
      exit;
    }

    // Call WHOAMI EXOP
    $r = ldap_exop($ds, LDAP_EXOP_WHO_AM_I);

    // Parse the result object
    ldap_parse_exop($ds, $r, $retdata);
    // Output: string(31) "dn:cn=root, o=My Company, c=US"
    var_dump($retdata);

    // Same thing using $response_data parameter
    $success = ldap_exop($ds, LDAP_EXOP_WHO_AM_I, NULL, NULL, $retdata, $retoid);
    if ($success) {
      var_dump($retdata);
    }
