    Useful function to delete dn entries recursively

    bool myldap_delete ( resource ds, string dn, bool recursive)

    Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
    recursive is by default FALSE (same behaviour as ldap_delete)

    function myldap_delete($ds,$dn,$recursive=false){
        if($recursive == false){
            return(ldap_delete($ds,$dn));
        }else{
            //searching for sub entries
            $sr=ldap_list($ds,$dn,"ObjectClass=*",array(""));
            $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
            for($i=0;$i<$info['count'];$i++){
                //deleting recursively sub entries
                $result=myldap_delete($ds,$info[$i]['dn'],$recursive);
                if(!$result){
                    //return result code, if delete fails
                    return($result);
                }
            }
            return(ldap_delete($ds,$dn));
        }
    }
