Using PHP With LDAP (part 2)

I liked this article a lot. The only problem I had with it was the modify.php only lets you modify the names. If you try to edit the email address, it fails because you cannot change the identifier it is using to identify the proper entry. If this were fixed/changed, it'd be great. That's what I'm trying to figure out how to do now.

Okay, I worked around the aforementioned inability to edit email addresses.

In edit.php, I put an extra variable to pass to modify.php::

<input type="hidden" name="mailorig" size="20" value="<?php echo $info[0]["mail"][0]; ?>">

In modify.php, I changed this::

// prepare DN
$dn = "mail=" . $_POST['mail'] . ", dc=my-domain, dc=net";

to this ...::

// prepare DN
$dn = "mail=" . $_POST['mailorig'] . ", dc=my-domain, dc=net";

Harish, I hope you change this in your article. Otherwise, I found it MOST useful. Thank you!
