Subject: Re: php ldap wit exop patch and missing ZSTR
From: faraz.khan@emergen.biz (Faraz Khan)

Many thanks for the quick response guys. Johannes doing void *u works, =20
however UChar *u does not. anyways its compiled and working.

Btw- for anybody working with real ldap applications and php, paging =20
is almost necessary. Any hopes of incorporating this with php6?
