    When adding/editing attributes for a user, the 'memberof' attribute is a special case. The memberOf attribute is not an accessible attribute of the user schema. To add someone to a group, you have to add the user in the group, and not the group in the user. You can do this by accessing the group attribute 'member':

    <?php

    $group_name     = "CN=MyGroup,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com";
    $group_info['member'] = $dn; // User's DN is added to group's 'member' array
    ldap_mod_add($connect,$group_name,$group_info);

    ?>

    Adding a user to a group in Apple's OpenDirectory goes as follows:

    <?php

    $dn     = "cn=groupname,cn=groups,dc=example,dc=com";
    $entry['memberuid'] = "username";

    ldap_mod_add($connect, $dn, $entry);

    ?>

    To add a new attribute with a single value:

    $entry[mail] = "newmail@aelana.com";
    $results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID, $dn, $entry);

    To add a new attribute with multiple values:

    $entry[mail][] = "newmail@aelana.com";
    $entry[mail][] = "altnewmail@aelana.com";
    $results = ldap_mod_add($ldapConnID, $dn, $entry);

    Using PHP 4.2.3 with IIS 5 and Win2k Server. My confs are:

    $ldap_srvr = 'servername' ;
    $ldap_port = 389;
    $ldap_con = ldap_connect($ldap_srvr, $ldap_port);
    $ldap_rdn = "username";
    $ldap_pwd = "__password__";

    $ldap_vbind = ldap_bind($ldap_con, $ldap_rdn, $ldap_pwd);

    $base_dn= 'CN=username,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=org,DC=us
    ' ;
    $ldap_filter= 'objectClass=*';

    $info['mail']='username@domain.org.us';

    ldap_mod_add($ldap_con, $base_dn, $info);
    ldap_add($ldap_con, $base_dn, $info);

    this generate an error:
    - Warning: LDAP: modify operation could not be completed. in

    ldap_modify($ldap_con, $base_dn, $info);

    this function corretly.

    It?s all.
