Installed versions of relatede software:

- openldap-2.0.17
- apache_1.3.22
- php-4.0.6

The script that can produce the error. This of cause requires a working LDAP server (and this is confirmed in this setup)

<?
$ds=ldap_connect("172.16.2.37"); 
$r=ldap_bind($ds, "cn=Manager,dc=test,dc=dk", "secret");     
$info["cn"]["bbb34783a"]="hejsa";
$mod=ldap_add($ds,"uid=bbb34783,ou=people,dc=test,dc=dk",$info);     
?>

The error in apache error-log are:

assertion "str != NULL" failed: file "encode.c", line 283
[Tue Oct 30 11:58:53 2001] [notice] child pid 31369 exit signal Abort trap (6)

and the backtrace gives:

This should be fixed, but not sure what behavior would
be the best. The problem is that you need to start with
index 0 and use numeric indices. I don't see any reason
for doing $info["cn"]["bbb34783a"]="hejsa";
Why don't you just do $info["cn"]="hejsa";
I usually like to do as follows with multiple values:

$info["cn"][]="a";
$info["cn"][]="b";
$info["cn"][]="c";

We could make it work with any index, or we could ignore
or give error when indices are not 0, 1, ..., n. But
which is the best...

I now made it give a warning and return FALSE. Think it
was important to fix it, since it also could add the
wrong value and not give any form of error. I'm closing
this, since I think it's good enough solution.
