[turba] [Ticket #2]: Postal Address Format Schema Patch

> Currently the lastest patch (posted 1/14/05) checks the
> $GLOBALS['attributes'] config array for the element to be saved and checks
> if it is an address type. If it is, it correctly converts all new line
> characters to a '$' for storing into the backend LDAP directory.  This
> solution will work so long as users only specify attributes to be
> addresses which are addresses in the backend LDAP.

> What I currently am not doing in the patch is using the code added in
> turba/lib/Drivers/ldap.php rev 1.50 which is the support to use the
> Net_LDAP class from PEAR. I have several reasons for not adding it in
> there currently..  One, is Net_LDAP is still beta quality and is not
> officially released. Two, is the mechanism for searching the OIDs is
> disabled by default in the turba configuration and has to be explicitly
> enabled (the checkRequired attribute), And three, you can't trust
> (unfortunately) that an LDAP server will provide SCHEMA information..
>
> Now, I do have an _isPostalAddress that will check that schema data, I
> just haven't tracked through of how to get horde to initialize it yet, and
> the current fix works. Once I finish the schema checking I will post a
> patch up here, but the current solution should still be added in as a
> failback in case the user does not have the 3 requiredments to use the
> schema checking (Beta Net_LDAP installed, the checkRequired enabled, and
> an LDAP server that properly publishes the SCHEMA).
