Yes, I think it might be better to have separate functions for the
controls like I suggested in my last mail though. We then make sure to
pass the necessary controls to ldap_search_ext() in our internal C
function. Also in some cases people can set necessary controls with
the existing ldap_set_control() function.
This is easier for PHP users than having to first call
ldap_create_sort_control() etc. and call ldap_search_ext() with
results from those. They would also have to free the resources that
ldap_search_ext() will have to create. What I propose is that we
only keep the resources internally, and that they are freed in the
sort case by calling the set_server_sort.. function with an empty
attribute array. This is a matter of taste. I can try to explain
my thinking in more detail, but I don't have time for that until
next week.
