reports success, but ldap_get_option() returns nothing and a subsequend

I think perhaps the control would have to be given as part of the
search (which is not possible in PHP right now). Support for this
might be added if several people find it useful. Why do you want
server side sorting? How about sorting it on the client side?
Next PHP release (in CVS now) will have a function ldap_sort()
that helps you do it on the client. After the search, you can
simply do ldap_sort($ds, $sr, cn); if you want to search on cn.

RE: [PHP] LDAP server side sorting
Server side sorting is useful when network traffic costs more than
processing time.
The server side sorting control in conjunction with the virtual list
view control returns only a subset of entries to the client.
In the PHP Manual is stated that is possible to set ldap controls using
the ldap_set_option directive. This however does not seem to work. The
code I used to try this is below.
I would like to know if anyone has tried it successfully or has any
experience in setting up server side controls through php.
Thanks anyway

I would like to know if anyone has tried it successfully or has any experience in setting up server side controls through php. I have, it works. If you were to use it for this, you would have to BER encode a sequence and pass a string not an array. But that's not the main problem. The way I interpret RFC 2891, the server side control is to be sent along with the search operation, not as a individual operation. This is not currently supported in PHP. I'm sort of planning to implement it. I'm not able to test it though, if you or others know of a publicly available server that I can test against, let me know (okay, I could probably find one myself with some digging around).
