OK I have not done any php, but have been itching to try.
To be clear, this is what happens at the moment. After editing name,end up with:
dn: cn=John Smith,ou=personal_addressbook,uid=chris,ou=Users,o=Schoolhouse
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: John R Smith
mail: john.smith at company.com

In other words mismatch in cn and so now if I try an add another John Smith I can't.

I have experimented and I am not really sure what tbis does ;-). Does it just
identify how the dn is made up? So in my case from above it should be:
'dn' => array('cn','ou','uid','ou','o') ?
It doesn't seem to matter what I put in here. What is it used for?

Will do. Also I have it all working under Windows too, including openldap, so I
will write that up too as I have aseen a fair number of questions on that too.
I will see what I can write up this weekend.
