Useful function to delete dn entries recursively
bool myldap_delete ( resource ds, string dn, bool recursive)
Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
recursive is by default FALSE (same behaviour as ldap_delete)
function myldap_delete($ds,$dn,$recursive=false){
if($recursive == false){
return(ldap_delete($ds,$dn));
}else{
//searching for sub entries
$sr=ldap_list($ds,$dn,"ObjectClass=*",array(""));
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
for($i=0;$i<$info['count'];$i++){
//deleting recursively sub entries
$result=myldap_delete($ds,$info[$i]['dn'],$recursive);
if(!$result){
//return result code, if delete fails
return($result);
}
}
return(ldap_delete($ds,$dn));
}
}
