This is a classic LDAP problem. If you have server side sorting you can ask for uidNumber in sorted order, and set sizelimit to 1. Not all servers support it though, and it's not easy to specify this in PHP. Another possibility might be to remember last max, and only search for larger values (of course you could search for all). Finally if you can control how data is updated, you could have a special attribute in a special object containing the highest uid, and update that whenever you add a higher one.
