changing array output

[Boxerman]

Hey guys,

 

Hopefully just a quick one and easy for you smart guys, but i'm running into an issue.

 

The code im using:

<? $user = $adldap->user()->infoCollection($username, array('*'));
$groupArray = $user->memberOf; 
foreach ($groupArray as $group) {
   echo $group;
}?>

This displays something like this (as is):

CN=testnamehere,OU=Groups,OU=Employees,OU=UserAccounts,DC=contoso,DC=comCN=heresanother,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=contoso,DC=comCN=VPN,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=comCN=ManicMondayDL,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=com

 

As you can see its not formatting how i want, and everytime i time, i get errors.

 

My question is 2 part, how do i have itas new lines AND now do i get it to strip everything apart from the CN part (so only the first part excluding the CN so the wanted outcome is:

 

testnamehere

heresanother

VPN

ManicMonday

 

I hope that makes sense, i've been banging my head on the wall for the past few hours. Please help! 

 

Thanks guys!

For those of us not sat on a network with active directory, the content of $groupArray would be an immense help to us.

 

Can you post the output from

var_export($groupArray);

Sorry for the lack of information here:

 

array ( 0 => 'CN=testnamehere,OU=Groups,OU=Employees,OU=UserAccounts,DC=contoso,DC=com', 1 => 'CN=heresanother,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=contoso,DC=com', 2 => CN=VPN,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=com', 3 => 'CN=ManicMondayDL,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=com', )

 

Again, sorry for the lack of information here.

Each element of your array contains a comma separated string of 'key=value' items.

 

1 - explode each array element into an array using the comma as the separator.

2 - foreach element of this new 'exploded' array do another explode on the = sign and echo out the second element of this new array.

Thanks for the quick response here! 

 

I should silly i know but can you double check where i'm going wrong please?

 

$user = $adldap->user()->infoCollection($username, array('*'));
$groupArray = $user->memberOf; 
foreach ($groupArray as $group) {
   $group;
$string = explode(',',$group);
$string = explode('=',$group);
}

I'm honestly struggling to get this working with the above code, i've read the .php.net site a 100 times, my head just cant get a grip of this

try

$groupArray =  array ( 
    0 => 'CN=testnamehere,OU=Groups,OU=Employees,OU=UserAccounts,DC=contoso,DC=com', 
    1 => 'CN=heresanother,OU=Distribution Lists,DC=contoso,DC=com', 
    2 => 'CN=VPN,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=com', 
    3 => 'CN=ManicMondayDL,OU=_UserGroups,DC=contoso,DC=com'
    );

foreach ($groupArray as $group) {
    $items = explode(',', $group);
    foreach($items as $element) {
        list($key, $value) = explode('=', $element);
        if ($key=='CN') {
            echo "$value<br>";
        }
    }
}

Thanks for the reply!

 

Just so i can understand what you are providing, does this script have to take static array values or can this be dynamic? As the array is different for every user.

Make it a function and pass it the group array

function CNList($arr)
{
    $list='';
    foreach ($arr as $group) {
        $items = explode(',', $group);
        foreach($items as $element) {
            list($key, $value) = explode('=', $element);
            if ($key=='CN') {
                $list .= "$value<br>";
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return $list;
}

echo CNList($groupArray);
