ldap_sort

    (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

    ldap_sort — LDAP 結果エントリをクライアント側でソートする

    警告

    この関数は PHP 7.0.0 で 非推奨となり、PHP 8.0.0 で削除 されました。この関数に頼らないことを強く推奨します。

    説明

    ldap_sort(resource $link, resource $result, string $sortfilter): bool

    ldap_search() が返す LDAP 検索結果をソートします。

    この関数は、返された結果をクライアント側でソートします。そのため、 サーバー側の sizelimit や ldap_search() で定義した sizelimit に達した場合は期待どおりの結果を得られない可能性があります。

    パラメータ

    link

    ldap_connect() が返す LDAP リソース。

    result

    ldap_search() が返す検索結果 ID。

    sortfilter

    ソートのキーとして使う属性。

    戻り値

    値を返しません。

    変更履歴

    バージョン 説明
    8.0.0 この関数は削除されました。

    例

    検索結果をソートします。

    例1 LDAP のソート

    <?php
    // $ds は有効なリンク ID です (ldap_connect を参照)

    $dn = 'ou=example,dc=org';
    $filter = '(|(sn=Doe*)(givenname=John*))';
    $justthese = array('ou', 'sn', 'givenname', 'mail');

    $sr = ldap_search($ds, $dn, $filter, $justthese);

    // ソート
    ldap_sort($ds, $sr, 'sn');

    // データの取得
    $info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

    This note may be self-evident, but the functionality of ldap_sort threw off this sometime user of relational databases.

    The following code will NOT do what you expect:

    <?php

    // omitted calls to connect and and bind to LDAP server...

    // attributes we want to retrieve from LDAP server
    $ldap_attributes = array ( 'cn', 'o', 'mail' ) ;

    // retrieve attributes from matching entries
    $search_results = ldap_search ( $ldap_conn, 'dc=example,dc=org', '(objectclass=*)', 0, 500, 30 ) ;

    // sort entries by last name ('sn')
    ldap_sort ( $ldap_conn, $search_results, 'sn' ) ;

    ?>

    The entries will NOT be sorted by last name. Why not? Because LDAP doesn't function like a RDBMS; you cannot sort a result set on an arbitrary field, regardless of whether you "selected" it. You must always include the attribute by which you want to sort your entries among the requested attributes (add 'sn' to $ldap_attributes, in this case).

    Hope this is helpful to some other folks who scratched their heads when they tried to sort entries and it didn't work out...

    I wondered how to sort after a dn, for just show a tree view. I tried to set $sortfilter = 'dn', but that didn't work. Than I tried with a blank string ''. That worked, the entries are sorted by dn.

    If you are wanting to sort by multiple attributes, for instance ordering by last name and then first name, try this function. This is similar to "ORDER BY lastname, firstname" in SQL.

    This function uses an insertion sort algorithm, which is somewhat faster then the old-fashoned bubble sort. The second argument is an array containing the attributes you want to sort by. (this functon won't do descending or ascending.. feel free to add it!)

    <?php
    /**
    * @param array $entries
    * @param array $attribs
    * @desc Sort LDAP result entries by multiple attributes.
    */
    function ldap_multi_sort(&$entries, $attribs){
    for (    $i=1; $i<$entries['count']; $i++){
    $index = $entries[$i];
    $j=$i;
    do {
    //create comparison variables from attributes:
    $a = $b = null;
    foreach(    $attribs as $attrib){
    $a .= $entries[$j-1][$attrib][0];
    $b .= $index[$attrib][0];
    }
    // do the comparison
    if ($a > $b){
    $is_greater = true;
    $entries[$j] = $entries[$j-1];
    $j = $j-1;
    }else{
    $is_greater = false;
    }
    } while (    $j>0 && $is_greater);

    $entries[$j] = $index;
    }
    return     $entries;
    }
    ?>

    Here's a simple LDAP sort function I wrote:

    <?php
    function sort_ldap_entries($e, $fld, $order)
    {
    for (    $i = 0; $i < $e['count']; $i++) {
    for (    $j = $i; $j < $e['count']; $j++) {
    $d = strcasecmp($e[$i][$fld][0], $e[$j][$fld][0]);
    switch (    $order) {
    case     'A':
    if (    $d > 0)
    swap($e, $i, $j);
    break;
    case     'D':
    if (    $d < 0)
    swap($e, $i, $j);
    break;
    }
    }
    }
    return (    $e);
    }

    function     swap(&$ary, $i, $j)
    {
    $temp = $ary[$i];
    $ary[$i] = $ary[$j];
    $ary[$j] = $temp;
    }
    ?>

    so that it can be invoked like:

    <?php
    $entries     = sort_ldap_entries($entries, 'mail', 'A'); // sort entries by ascending order of mail
    ?>

    where,
    `$entries' is the array returned by ldap_get_entries() function.

    This might be useful to those who still run older versions of PHP (<= 4.2.0) on their web servers :-)

    This function applies strcmp() to each attribute (given by sortfilter) in order to sort the entries returned by the server. To order search results ascending by last name, try passing "sn" as the sortfilter argument. This function does not play nice with multi-valued attributes.

    Something real simple i wrote to sort directory searches by a persons last name.

    <?php
    for($i=0;$i<$result["count"];$i++)
    {

    $lastname = $result[$i]["sn"][0];

    $lnames["$i"]=$lastname;

    }    //for i

    @asort($lnames);
    ?>
