Read an entry

说明

ldap_read(
    LDAP\Connection|array $ldap,
    array|string $base,
    array|string $filter,
    array $attributes = [],
    int $attributes_only = 0,
    int $sizelimit = -1,
    int $timelimit = -1,
    int $deref = LDAP_DEREF_NEVER,
    ?array $controls = null
): LDAP\Result|array|false

Performs the search for a specified filter on the directory with the scope LDAP_SCOPE_BASE. So it is equivalent to reading an entry from the directory.

It is also possible to perform parallel searches. In this case, the first argument should be an array of LDAP\Connection instances, rather than a single one. If the searches should not all use the same base DN and filter, an array of base DNs and/or an array of filters can be passed as arguments instead. These arrays must be of the same size as the LDAP\Connection instances array, since the first entries of the arrays are used for one search, the second entries are used for another, and so on. When doing parallel searches an array of LDAP\Result instances is returned, except in case of error, when the return value will be false.

参数

ldap

通过 ldap_connect() 返回的 LDAP\Connection 实例。

base

The base DN for the directory.

filter

An empty filter is not allowed. If you want to retrieve absolutely all information for this entry, use a filter of objectClass=*. If you know which entry types are used on the directory server, you might use an appropriate filter such as objectClass=inetOrgPerson.

attributes

An array of the required attributes, e.g. array("mail", "sn", "cn"). Note that the "dn" is always returned irrespective of which attributes types are requested.

Using this parameter is much more efficient than the default action (which is to return all attributes and their associated values). The use of this parameter should therefore be considered good practice.

attributes_only

Should be set to 1 if only attribute types are wanted. If set to 0 both attributes types and attribute values are fetched which is the default behaviour.

sizelimit

Enables you to limit the count of entries fetched. Setting this to 0 means no limit.

注意:
This parameter can NOT override server-side preset sizelimit. You can set it lower though.

Some directory server hosts will be configured to return no more than a preset number of entries. If this occurs, the server will indicate that it has only returned a partial results set. This also occurs if you use this parameter to limit the count of fetched entries.

timelimit

Sets the number of seconds how long is spend on the search. Setting this to 0 means no limit.

注意:
This parameter can NOT override server-side preset timelimit. You can set it lower though.

deref

Specifies how aliases should be handled during the search. It can be one of the following:

LDAP_DEREF_NEVER - (default) aliases are never dereferenced.
LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING - aliases should be dereferenced during the search but not when locating the base object of the search.
LDAP_DEREF_FINDING - aliases should be dereferenced when locating the base object but not during the search.
LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS - aliases should be dereferenced always.

controls

Array of LDAP Controls to send with the request.

返回值

返回 LDAP\Result 实例、 LDAP\Result 实例数组或者在失败时返回 false.
