RE: [PHP-DB] LDAP and special chars

Hi Christian,

... you could urlencode() when inserting and urldecode() on
fetching the data.

Perhaps this helps.

Greetinx,

 Subject: [PHP-DB] LDAP and special chars


 Hello,

 I am working with PHP 4.0.6 and OpenLDAP 2.0.11.
 I encounter problems when modifying some entries with
 attributes containing
 special chars (such as å, ø...). The error returned by the
 LDAP server is
 invalid syntax.

 I have read some documentation about this. OpenLDAP can accept
 base64-encoded values, provided we use the tools that come with the
 application (ldapadd, ldapmodify, etc.).
 Then the attributes in the entry would be separated from
 their values by a
 double column instead of the single colums used normally.

 i.e, the entry would be
 dn:uid=whatever,o=whatever
 normalAttribute: normalvalue
 specialAttribute:: SVN==   (this one is B64 encoded)

 But how to do this from PHP functions? I tried to
 base64_encode the values,
 it naturally didn't do the trick (those values were
 considered as normal,
 and thus were not decoded).

 Any idea?

 Thanks in advance
