ldap_explode_dn()
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
Splits DN into its component parts
说明
ldap_explode_dn(string $dn,int $with_attrib): array
Splits the DN returned by ldap_get_dn() and breaks it up into its component parts. Each part is known as Relative Distinguished Name, or RDN.
参数
- $dn
The distinguished name of an LDAP entity.
- $with_attrib
Used to request if the RDNs are returned with only values or their attributes as well. To get RDNs with the attributes(i.e. in attribute=value format)set$with_attribto 0 and to get only values set it to 1.
返回值
Returns an array of all DN components,或者在失败时返回FALSE
. The first element in the array hascountkey and represents the number of returned values, next elements are numerically indexed DN components.
Keep attention on UTF8 encoded DNs. Since openLDAP >=2.1.2 ldap_explode_dn turns unprintable chars (in the ASCII sense, UTF8 encoded) into \<hexcode>. Example: $dn="ou=Universität ,c=DE"; var_dump(ldap_explode_dn($dn,0)); //returns array(3) { ["count"]=> int(2) [0]=> string(19) "ou=Universit\C3\A4t" [1]=> string(4) "c=DE" } Unfortunately, PHP don't support the ldap functions ldap_str2dn and ldap_dn2str, but by means of preg_replace a workaround is possible to recover the old behaviour of ldap_explode_dn // workaround function myldap_explode_dn($dn,$with_attribute){ $result=ldap_explode_dn ($dn, $with_attrib); //translate hex code into ascii again foreach($result as $key=>$value){ $result[$key]=preg_replace("/\\\([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/e", "''.chr(hexdec('\\1')).''", $value); } return($result); } // //then follows for the example $dn="ou=Universität ,c=DE"; var_dump(myldap_explode_dn($dn,0)); //returns array(3) { ["count"]=> int(2) [0]=> string(15) "ou=Universität" [1]=> string(4) "c=DE" }
I came accros this page and enjoyed the comments. Since a LDAP string can sometimes be lengthy and have many attributes, I needed to be able to sort through all that is in. In my case, I needed to get the subdomain part and other parameters. Here is how I built my method. <?php /** * Parse, and format a DN string to Array * * Read a LDAP DN, and return an array keys * listing all similar attributes. * * Also takes care of the character escape and unescape * * Example: * CN=username,OU=UNITNAME,OU=Region,OU=Country,DC=subdomain,DC=domain,DC=com * * Would normally return: * Array ( * [count] => 9 * [0] => CN=username * [1] => OU=UNITNAME * [2] => OU=Region * [5] => OU=Country * [6] => DC=subdomain * [7] => DC=domain * [8] => DC=com * ) * * Returns instead a manageable array: * array ( * [CN] => array( username ) * [OU] => array( UNITNAME, Region, Country ) * [DC] => array ( subdomain, domain, com ) * ) * * * @author gabriel at hrz dot uni-marburg dot de 05-Aug-2003 02:27 (part of the character replacement) * @author Renoir Boulanger * * @param string $dn The DN * @return array */ function parseLdapDn($dn) { $parsr=ldap_explode_dn($dn, 0); //$parsr[] = 'EE=Sôme Krazï string'; //$parsr[] = 'AndBogusOne'; $out = array(); foreach($parsr as $key=>$value){ if(FALSE !== strstr($value, '=')){ list($prefix,$data) = explode("=",$value); $data=preg_replace("/\\\\\\([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/e", "''.chr(hexdec('\\\\1')).''", $data); if(isset($current_prefix) && $prefix == $current_prefix){ $out[$prefix][] = $data; } else { $current_prefix = $prefix; $out[$prefix][] = $data; } } } return $out; } ?>
I was converting LDAP related code to PHP7 which doesn't support /e modifier with preg_replace anymore, but instead you should use preg_replace_callback. This might help someone working on the same thing: <?php $value = 'Universität'; # < PHP7 compatible code echo preg_replace("/\\\([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/e", "''.chr(hexdec('\\1')).''", $value); # >= PHP7 compatible code echo preg_replace_callback('/\\\([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/', function ($matches) { return chr(hexdec($matches[1])); }, $value);
Probably not the best way but for those who are looking for a way to get de CN of a DN without the "cn=" part this is a function with a regex pattern: <?php function getCNofDN($dn) { $return=preg_match('/[^cn=]([^,]*)/i',$dn,$dn); return($dn[0]); } echo getCNofDN("cn=emepese,cn=someLevel,dc=someCompany"); // Will print "emepese" ?>
[ Editor's Note: The segfault has been fixed and will not occur in PHP 4.3.4 or PHP 5.0.0 when they are released. However, it is still important to escape special characters as detailed below. ] If your DN contains < or > characters, you must escape them with a backslash or ldap_explode_dn() will give you a "wrong parameter count" error or even a segmentation fault. For example, these calls will fail with a "wrong parameter count" or a seg fault: ldap_explode_dn( "cn=<bob>,dc=example,dc=com", 0 ); ldap_explode_dn( 'cn=<bob>,dc=example,dc=com', 0 ); But this will succeed ldap_explode_dn( "cn=\<bob\>,dc=example,dc=com", 0 ); Notice also that the < and > are escaped with hex codes as noted above. This function is a nice wrapper that properly formats all DNs and can safely be called with < and > characters, and UTF-8 characters: function my_explode_dn( $dn, $with_attributes=0 ) { $dn = addcslashes( $dn, "<>" ); $result = ldap_explode_dn( $dn, $with_attributes ); //translate hex code into ascii again foreach( $result as $key => $value ) $result[$key] = preg_replace("/\\\([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})/e", "''.chr(hexdec('\\1')).''", $value); return $result; } I am using php 4.3.1. Good luck!
Copying is much better than typing!!!! Just modify the constants.
