Hrrm. Original email was bounced, so trying again.


I need some guidance from the LDAP gurus, I think.  I've long been
able to get PHP to read from LDAP, but now I have the need to write,
and I'm running up against a strange problem.

Basic code is as follows:

----
<?
$ds=ldap_connect("ldapmachine.bnl.gov");

if (!$ds)
{
  echo "No connect! Result was ".$ds;
  exit;
}

#non-anon bind, since we have to update stuff.

$nab=ldap_bind($ds,"cn=admin,dc=bnl,dc=gov","password");
if (!$nab)
{
  echo "Bind failed! Exiting...";
  exit;
}

$searchstring="(uid=".$uid.")";
$sr=ldap_search($ds,"dc=bnl,dc=gov","$searchstring");

echo "Search String: <b>$searchstring</b><br>";

$info=ldap_get_entries($ds,$sr);
$dn=$info["dn"];

echo $dn;

#$info1["objectClass"]="inetLocalMailRecipient";



$bla=ldap_mod_add($ds,"$dn",$info1);

ldap_close($ds);
----

Now, this is just test code, but it should work. $uid gets
passed from a form, and I just want to add an objectClass,
and 2 attributes. What I get is this from PHP:

Warning: LDAP: modify operation could not be completed. in /var/www/ldap/mklabmail.php on line 33


And this from LDAP:

Aug 28 08:47:58 ldapmachine slapd[345]: conn=-1 fd=15 closed 

I'm *not trying* to change the root dse! What am I stupidly doing
wrong?
