Hi everyone.

Côme Bernigaud and myself are currently cleaning up the LDAP-Extension
(Well, Côme is doing the hard work and I'm trying to assist in some
way). We would like to bring it in line with a more recent version of
the OpenLDAP-lib. Currently the plan is to require OpenLDAP 2.4 as the
minimum version to build ext/ldap against. This is on a very good way [1].

But in said OpenLDAP-library the ldap_sort-function already has been
marked as deprecated [2]. Therefore we'd like to at least mark PHPs
ldap_sort function as deprecated also.

The current rewrite will make it possible to later use the server-sided
sort functionality so there will be only limited need for the current
(client sided) ldap_sort function.

As it's a BC-break to remove the ldap_sort function will we have to
setup an RFC for that? Or is it a plain "mark it deprecated in PHP7 and
throw it away in PHP8" kind of decission? And will it be possible to get
that marked deprecated in 7 at all?

Thanks for your help in getting this right.

Cheers

Andreas
