PHP LDAP ORM

About

LDAP ORM is a simple PHP Library that makes searching for records in LDAP and saving or updating easier. It is inspired by CakePHP/Rails and supports both 'hasMany' and 'belongsTo' associations. It also supports 'findBy{Attribute}' and 'findAllBy{Attribute}' functions for quick retrieval of records.

Feature List

SASL Support (if proper LDAP PHP Libraries are Installed)
findBy and findAllBy magic methods
Single DN Result
Save and Update with strict mode (check that attributes exist in schema before updating)
'hasMany' and 'belongsTo' support
'Find' supports: all, first, count, list
Find conditions can use AND or OR between values ie. "cn=Test OR cn=Test2" and proper LDAP search formatting will be applied.
- Note: Only one method can be used at a time but multiple of the same methods can be used "cn=Test AND cn=Test2 AND name=Test"
Organizes results by the top most dn value
- Example: results under a dn of ou=People,dc=example,dc=com would be namespaced in results under '[People]' array

Basic Usage

Find All Records with cn=TestGroup

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$res = $ldap->find('all', array('conditions' => "cn=testGroup"), 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com');

Alternatively the above query can be written using the findAllBy magic method:

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$res = $ldap->findAllByCn("testGroup", 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com');

The results above both examples will return as

(
   [0] => Array
        (
            [Groups] => Array
                (
                    [cn] => testGroup
                    [objectclass] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => groupOfNames
                            [1] => top
                        )
                    [member] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => cn=TestUser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                            [1] => cn=Test3,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                        )
                    [dn] => cn=testGroup,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
                )
            )
        )
   )

Advanced Usage

To search using the hasMany association such as finding a Group where cn=testGroup and find all the People that are listed in the members multi-attribute use the following format:

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$res = $ldap->find('first', array('conditions' => "cn=testGroup"
	'hasMany' => array(
        'on' => array('member' => 'dn'),
        'fields' => array(),
        'base' => 'ou=People,dc=example,dc=com')
    ), 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com');

the 'on' array uses the format array('{FoundResultAttribute}' => '{AttributeToSearchForInJoinedResults}')

the Result of this would look like:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Groups] => Array
                (
                    [cn] => testGroup
                    [objectclass] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => groupOfNames
                            [1] => top
                        )
                    [member] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => cn=TestUser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                            [1] => cn=Test3,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                        )
                    [dn] => cn=testGroup,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
                )
            [People] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [sn] => Test
                            [cn] => TestUser
                            [objectclass] => Array
                                (
                                    [0] => person
                                    [1] => top
                                )
                            [dn] => cn=TestUser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                        )
                    [1] => Array
                        (
                            [cn] => Test3
                            [objectclass] => Array
                                (
                                    [0] => person
                                    [1] => top
                                )
                            [sn] => dsfsdfsd
                            [dn] => cn=Test3,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
                        )
                )
        )
)

to use the BelongsTo option:

require('LDAP_ORM.php');

$ldap = new LDAP_ORM('example.com');
$ldap->bind('cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com', 'password');

$g = $ldap->find('all', array('conditions' => "cn=Test2",
    'belongsTo' => array(
        'on' => array('groupdn' => 'dn'),
        'base' => 'ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com')
), 'ou=People,dc=example,dc=com');
