   (PHP 3, PHP 4 )
   ldap_get_attributes -- Get attributes from a search result entry

Description

   array ldap_get_attributes ( resource link_identifier, resource
   result_entry_identifier)

   Returns a complete entry information in a multi-dimensional array on
   success and FALSE on error.

   ldap_get_attributes() function is used to simplify reading the
   attributes and values from an entry in the search result. The return
   value is a multi-dimensional array of attributes and values.

   Having located a specific entry in the directory, you can find out
   what information is held for that entry by using this call. You would
   use this call for an application which "browses" directory entries
   and/or where you do not know the structure of the directory entries.
   In many applications you will be searching for a specific attribute
   such as an email address or a surname, and won't care what other data
   is held.

   return_value["count"] = number of attributes in the entry
   return_value[0] = first attribute
   return_value[n] = nth attribute
   return_value["attribute"]["count"] = number of values for attribute
   return_value["attribute"][0] = first value of the attribute
   return_value["attribute"][i] = (i+1)th value of the attribute

   Example 1. Show the list of attributes held for a particular directory
   entry
   <?php
   // $ds is the link identifier for the directory
   // $sr is a valid search result from a prior call to
   // one of the ldap directory search calls
   $entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr);
   $attrs = ldap_get_attributes($ds, $entry);
   echo $attrs["count"] . " attributes held for this entry:<p>";
   for ($i=0; $i<$attrs["count"]; $i++)
       echo $attrs[$i] . "<br />";
   ?>
