Hi Steve --
After you successfully bind to your LDAP server using the procedure you
outline below, there is no need to conduct a second search to retrieve
information about the user. What you're looking for already exists (or
should, theoretically) in $entries. It's simply a matter of accessing
the data in the array. Notice that when you're performing the bind
operation, you're using $entries[0]['dn'] -- the other attributes for
the user are in the same array. So if you want to retrieve a user's
last name, for example, you would access it here: $entries[0]['sn'].
Just to be on the safe side, perhaps doing a simple print_r($entries)
might be a good first step to ensuring that the data you're looking for
is actually there.
I hope this helps. :)
