This code sample shows how to move/rename an object in eDirectory in PHP using LDAP. The object can be moved within the same container or to different branch of the tree.

Sample Code

<?php

$server='localhost';
$admin='cn=admin,o=novell';
$passwd='novell';

$ds=ldap_connect($server);  // assuming the LDAP server is on this host

if ($ds) {
	$r=ldap_set_option($ds,LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
	if(!$r) die("ldap_set_option failed");
	
    // bind with appropriate dn to give update access
    $r=ldap_bind($ds, $admin, $passwd);
	if(!$r) die("ldap_bind failed<br>");
    // prepare data
	$r=ldap_rename($ds,"cn=pjones,ou=users,o=novell","cn=admin","ou=admins,o=novell",true);
	if(!$r) die("ldap_rename failure<br>");
	
    ldap_close($ds);
	echo "ldap_rename success";
} else {
    echo "Unable to connect to LDAP server"; 
}
?>

Moves Without CN Change

The third parameter is always required for eDirectory, even if the cn is not changing, the newrdn needs to be populated with the current cn, with cn= prepended to the actual cn.
For example: ldap_rename($ds, "cn=test,ou=users,o=novell", "cn=test", "ou=newou,o=novell", true);
