Example #1 ldap-count-entries() example
Retrieve number of entries in the result.
// $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, $justthese);
var_dump(ldap_count_entries($ds, $sr));
The above example will output something similar to:
int(1)
