The LDAP extension has two functions that are exactly the same, namely ldap_modify() and ldap_mod_replace(). I think we should start thinking of getting rid of one of them. We could start with making one of them an alias for the other, and state that the alias is deprecated in the manual. The question then is which one we want to get rid of.
ldap_modify() is a short and descriptive name, and fits well with other names like ldap_add(), ldap_delete(). But modifications are individual attributes, not the complete entry. ldap_mod_replace() fits in with some other function names like ldap_mod_add() and ldap_mod_delete(). All these three modify only specific attributes, not the entire entry. And are specific cases of the more general C LDAP API ldap_modify() function. Thus I suggest that we make ldap_modify() an alias, and get rid of it at some point. Possibly replacing it with an entirely new ldap_modify() at some point if necessary. Does anyone think that we should get of the other function instead? Or that we shouldn't deprecate any of them?
