I found it! The parenthesis need to be escaped, which I had tried, but silly PHP went and escaped my escapes... :-\ So the criteria on the query needed to be cn=Ryan Jameson \(MyDomain\) ... I was entering the criteria via a form which PHP conveniently turned into cn=Ryan Jameson \\(MyDomain\\) which didn't work.

My guess is that the filter isn't set up quite right (as in the base dn you're attaching to get the dn is not formatted correctly). What exactly are you trying to achieve? --Nicole --------------------------- Nicole Swan Web Programming Specialist Carroll College CCIT (406)447-4310 -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Jameson [mailto:ryan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 3:46 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Ldap query problem My LDAP queries seem to have a problem with parenthesis, does anyone know how to fix this? Example... Criteria cn=Ryan Jameson* works fine returning user with cn=Ryan Jameson (MyDomain) But... Criteria cn=Ryan Jameson (MyDomain) returns nothing. :-\ <>< Ryan -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
