TheSambassador Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello everyone! I'm working on a PHP employee database that uses the local network's active directory to allow users to log in. Basically, I'm using the ldap_bind command to authenticate and figure out what user is logging in. The main snippet of code is: $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; $convertedPassword = utf8_encode($password); if (ldap_bind($ds,"health1\\" . $username,$convertedPassword)){do stuff} This works fine for normal username/passwords, but has been getting hung up on special characters. I added the utf8_encode command, which allowed password with carrot (^) characters, but it still won't allow backslashes ( \ ). I get Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials in /var/www/emp/index.php on line 22 every time with a password such as "Blabla12\" The utf8_encode command seems to be escaping the \, which I think is what I want. Has anybody else had any luck with this? -Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
