ldap_next_attribute - Get the next attribute in result

SYNOPSIS

       string ldap_next_attribute (resource  $link_identifier, resource  $result_entry_identifier)

DESCRIPTION

	Retrieves  the	attributes  in	an entry. The first call to ldap_next_attribute(3) is made with the $result_entry_identifier returned from
       ldap_first_attribute(3).

PARAMETERS

	      o $link_identifier
		- An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect(3).

	      o $result_entry_identifier
		-

	      o $ber_identifier
		- The internal state of the pointer is maintained by this parameter.

	      Note

		      This parameter is no longer used as this is now handled automatically by PHP. For backwards compatibility PHP will not throw
		     an error if this parameter is passed.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns the next attribute in an entry on success and FALSE on error.

NAME

       ldap_first_attribute, ldap_next_attribute - step through LDAP entry attributes

LIBRARY

       OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ldap.h>

       char *ldap_first_attribute(
	    LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage entry, BerElement **berptr )

       char *ldap_next_attribute(
	    LDAP *ld, LDAPMessage entry, BerElement *ber )

DESCRIPTION

       The   ldap_first_attribute()   and   ldap_next_attribute()   routines   are  used  to  step  through  the  attributes  in  an  LDAP  entry.
       ldap_first_attribute() takes an entry as returned by ldap_first_entry(3) or ldap_next_entry(3) and returns a pointer  to  character  string
       containing the first attribute description in the entry.  ldap_next_attribute() returns the next attribute description in the entry.

       It  also  returns,  in  berptr,	a  pointer to a BerElement it has allocated to keep track of its current position.  This pointer should be
       passed to subsequent calls to ldap_next_attribute() and is used used to effectively step through the entry's  attributes.   The	caller	is
       solely  responsible  for  freeing  the  BerElement  pointed  to by berptr when it is no longer needed by calling ber_free(3).  When calling
       ber_free(3) in this instance, be sure the second argument is 0.

       The attribute names returned are suitable for inclusion in a call to ldap_get_values(3) to retrieve the attribute's values.

ERRORS

       If an error occurs, NULL is returned and the ld_errno field in the ld parameter is set to indicate the  error.	See  ldap_error(3)  for  a
       description of possible error codes.

NOTES

       The  ldap_first_attribute()  and  ldap_next_attribute()	return dynamically allocated memory that must be freed by the caller via ldap_mem-
       free(3).
