Description:
------------
target ldap server : notes
PHP version : 5.2.9(CLI)
OS: FreeBSD ( tested on 5.4 and 7.1)
When using "ldap_list" on specific basedn and specific attribute combination will get "Decoding error" (-4) error.

look seems like bug #5433....
But "Decoding error" only happens on searching for 
("cn","mail","proxyaddresses","ou") attributes,
and will NOT get error if changing these attirbute's sorting or add/remove some other attributes.

ps: using ldap_search wont get error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ldp_svrip ='192.168.100.150';   // IP
$ldp_acc = '';
$ldp_pwd = '';
$ldp_svrport ='5555';   // Port
$ldp_dn = 'OU=tw,O=iei2';   // DN
$ldp_filter = '(objectclass=*)';   // FILTER
$ldp_jth = array("cn","mail","proxyaddresses","ou");   // Attribute
$ds = ldap_connect($ldp_svrip, $ldp_svrport) ;
$rbind = ldap_bind($ds, $ldp_acc, $ldp_pwd);
$sr = @ldap_list($ds, $ldp_dn, $ldp_filter, $ldp_jth);
echo LDAP_ERROR($ds);
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);

Expected result:
----------------
"Success"

Actual result:
--------------
"Decoding error"

What makes you think it's not expected result?

From manual about ldap_list():

"LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL means that the search should only return 
information that is at the level immediately below the base_dn given 
in the call. (Equivalent to typing "ls" and getting a list of files 
and folders in the current working directory.)"

the problem is when I change the searching attribute from 
("cn","mail","proxyaddresses","ou")
to any other
like... ("mail","cn","proxyaddresses","ou") <- only switching sorting
or... ("cn","mail","proxyaddresses","ou","something") <- add something or remove something
or whatever

the result of ""LDAP_ERROR($ds)"" become success,
and I can get values from
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
and following steps.....

Hello there,
It seems be #5433 only fixed "ldap_search()" function,but not also fix ldap_list() function.
please check again.

The problem is, it will get Decoding error (-4) when querying some OU and have attributes.

When I get decoding error, and I use this function again with no argument 4(attributes), It will be fine.

samples:

When
$sr= @ldap_list($this->conn,$dn,$this->filter,$this->attrs);
ldap_errno($this->conn) sometimes will be -4
gets Decoding error, query fails.

Try use
$sr= @ldap_list($this->conn,$dn,$this->filter);

ldap_errno($this->conn) will be 0
and the data entries will be fine

There's no difference in what PHP does for ldap_search and ldap_list, except that ldap_lsit uses LDAP_SCOPE_ONELEVEL.
