Creation and modification of DN strings

Using the filter API to create search filters

Example #1 Create simple LDAP filters

$f1  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::equals('name', 'value');         // (name=value)
$f2  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::begins('name', 'value');         // (name=value*)
$f3  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::ends('name', 'value');           // (name=*value)
$f4  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::contains('name', 'value');       // (name=*value*)
$f5  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::greater('name', 'value');        // (name>value)
$f6  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::greaterOrEqual('name', 'value'); // (name>=value)
$f7  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::less('name', 'value');           // (name<value)
$f8  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::lessOrEqual('name', 'value');    // (name<=value)
$f9  = Zend_Ldap_Filter::approx('name', 'value');         // (name~=value)
$f10 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::any('name');                     // (name=*)

Example #2 Create more complex LDAP filters

$f1 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::ends('name', 'value')->negate(); // (!(name=*value))
 
$f2 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::equals('name', 'value');
$f3 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::begins('name', 'value');
$f4 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::ends('name', 'value');
 
// (&(name=value)(name=value*)(name=*value))
$f5 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::andFilter($f2, $f3, $f4);
 
// (|(name=value)(name=value*)(name=*value))
$f6 = Zend_Ldap_Filter::orFilter($f2, $f3, $f4);
