UTF8 and Net_LDAP2:

It is hard to know exactly what entries need utf8 every time you need them,

so here's the simple way to salvation:

Net_LDAP2 will check internally if utf8 is needed.

Code:

      // $attr is some text a user entered with funny characters in it.

      // If $attr should not be utfized (f.x. userPassword) then utf8Encode

      // will not encode the attribute.

      $attr = $ldap->utf8Encode($attr);

      // now insert the correctly encoded attribute  into the directory.

      $entry->modify($attr);

      // later when you access the attributes of that user, decode the ones

      // that have to be decoded.

      $attr = $ldap->utf8Decode( $entry->attributes() );

Thanks to Jan for the code.
