Support for the RFC 2696 paged results LDAP extension

The best thing to do to get it in is to write a patch :-)

Although the ldap extension is listed as being maintained, I don't
think Stig Venaas has had much time for it in a while.

The next best thing to writing a patch is showing some C code that
shows how to do it--maybe someone will take it on.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] Support for the RFC 2696 paged results LDAP extension

Hi,

I am wondering if there is any plan to support RFC 2696 "LDAP Control
Extension for Simple Paged Results Manipulation".

LDAP has a problem that most/all servers aren't designed to handle large
result sets. Some servers are set so that the largest result sets they
can handle are as small as 100 entries. LDAP paging gets around this by
allowing you to retrieve multiple chunks of $RESULT_SIZE until you have
all the entries that your search produced.

This has obvious benefits in an LDAP environment and I'm hoping that
there is some way to get support included in PHP.

Thanks for any help / information.

Yours,

Gary
