/*
$hm is an array of the following structure
array(
'dn' => 'cn=Hugo Müller,ou=People,dc=my,dc=local',
'cn' => array('Hugo Müller'),

...
)
*/
]]>
Check for the existence of a given DN
bind();

bind();
$childrenCount = $ldap->countChildren(
'cn=Hugo Müller,ou=People,dc=my,dc=local');
]]>
Searching the LDAP tree
bind();
$result = $ldap->search('(objectclass=*)',
'ou=People,dc=my,dc=local',

foreach ($result as $item) {
echo $item["dn"] . ': ' . $item['cn'][0] . PHP_EOL;
}
]]>
Adding data to the LDAP

bind();
$entry = array();
Zend_Ldap_Attribute::setAttribute($entry, 'cn', 'Hans Meier');
Zend_Ldap_Attribute::setAttribute($entry, 'sn', 'Meier');
