Hello,

I have now deemed my ldap_modify_batch RFC [1] ready for discussion.

I know that Étienne Bagnoud has plans to rewrite the LDAP extension,
but last time I checked, that project was still in its early planning
stages. I would also assume that his work will (at least initially)
happen in an "LDAP improved" extension (comparable to the mysql vs.
mysqli situation of yore) to retain backward compatibility. I
certainly do not wish to torpedo his efforts, but I'd like
ldap_modify_batch to enter the PHP tree soon, since it makes (among
other things) PHP-based Active Directory password management tools
possible -- functionality I'll need for my day job.

Cheers,
~~ Ondra

No comments? I probably won't open the vote until after New Year's,
but I was hoping to get some feedback beforehand...

(Summary of the RFC: A function named ldap_modify_batch is added to
the LDAP extension that allows to perform multiple modification
operations "simultaneously". Some directory services require this for
operations such as password changes: "remove" the old password value
and "add" the new one.)

Cheers,
~~ Ondra

I guess nobody has comments/objections for your addition like me.
It would be useful for sure.
I haven't look into your patch, though.

Good luck.
