Yes, but as I see it this function is anyway only used to store e-mail addresses together with a name, so that the e-mail address is available for composing new mails. For a complete contact entry the data needs to be entered anyhow separately (or at least the automatically stored contact needs to be heavily amended) and a compatible UID could be assigned in this case. So using the e-mail as UID should be ok in this case and would fit to the current behaviour, where mail is used as RDN. Using a UID generated by a standard PHP function (e.g. uniqid) should be fine as well. Maybe with 'RC-' as prefix. > thus creating new contacts is kind of problematic, isnt it? > Or is there an officially accepted way to build them? E.g. just > increasing a number until it is not occupied allready? I would assume that PHP provides a function to generate a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)?
