ldap_sort — Sort LDAP result entries on the client side
Description
bool ldap_sort ( resource $link , resource $result , string $sortfilter )
Sort the result of a LDAP search, returned by ldap_search().
As this function sorts the returned values on the client side it is possible that you might not get the expected results in case you reach the sizelimit either of the server or defined within ldap_search().
This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
Parameters
-
link -
An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().
-
result -
An search result identifier, returned by ldap_search().
-
sortfilter -
The attribute to use as a key in the sort.
Examples
Sorting the result of a search.
Example #1 LDAP sort
<?php
// $ds is a valid link identifier (see ldap_connect)
$dn = 'ou=example,dc=org';
$filter = '(|(sn=Doe*)(givenname=John*))';
$justthese = array('ou', 'sn', 'givenname', 'mail');
$sr = ldap_search($ds, $dn, $filter, $justthese);
// Sort
ldap_sort($ds, $sr, 'sn');
// Retrieving the data
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
