return_value["count"] = number of attributes in the entry return_value[0] = first attribute return_value[n] = nth attribute return_value["attribute"]["count"] = number of values for attribute return_value["attribute"][0] = first value of the attribute return_value["attribute"][i] = (i+1)th value of the attribute

An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().

// $sr is a valid search result from a prior call to

$entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr);
$attrs = ldap_get_attributes($ds, $entry);
echo $attrs["count"] . " attributes held for this entry:<p>";
