ldapOrm

A simple PHP LDAP ORM

Usage

1. Include the single php file require 'ldapOrm.php';
2. Create a 'models' directory
3. Create your models
4. Initialize the ldapOrm with the command

$ldap = new LdapEntry('yourLdapServer', 'your.domain.name', 'your/model/directory');

LDAP Server is usually localhost, and domain name corresponds to the dc attribute in LDAP

Model building

There is some settings to do in your model file:

• Name your file in lowercase, with the exact name of your model, e.g mymodel.php
• Initialize the model class by calling class Mymodel extends LdapEntry {...}

The model name's first letter must be uppercased and must correspond to the model filename.

• The $options array contains 3 parameters:
  • dnPattern: contains the key attribute of the DN
  • searchPath: contains the name of the group if exists
  • objectClass: objectClasses of the model

$options = array
           (
              'dnPattern'     => array('cn' => ''),
              'searchPath' 	  => array('ou' => 'mygroupname'),
              'objectClass' 	=> array('myFirstObjectClass', 'mySecondObjectClass')
           );

• The $fields array contains all the model attributes and its optionnal parameters listed below:
  • required: true|false (default false)
  • unique: true|false (default false) - Set it to true if
  • minLength: (default 0) - Minimum length of the field value
  • maxLength: (default 1024) - Maximum length of the field value
  • pattern: (default null) - Pattern that the field must match, regex style

$fields = array
(
    'mymailfield' => array
    (       
        'required' => true,
        'unique'   => true,
        'pattern'  => '#^[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$#'
    ),
    'myotherfield' => array
    (
        'required' => false,
        'minLength' => 1,
        'maxlength' => 30
    )
);
