Hi,

I have got the solution, infact the LADP uid search was not getting stuck, but it was the displayName, which i used to search for user name, so the code part that was getting stuck was

#$chrName = "Mazhar Hassan"; #works fine, coz exsist in active directory
$chrUid = "M Mazhar"; #crashes the system, not exsist in the active director
$sr=ldap_search($ds, $LDAP_DN, "(displayName=$chrName)");

i have tried few other tools to search it on my linux environment, and similar kind of stuck thing was happing with those tools as well,
then i realized that there no displayName field in active directory of my production environment, instead there is sxdisplayName, but on my XP system environment its displayName,
sorry for mis understanding. as soon as i changed that to sxdisplayName it now works fine, if record not matches it gracefully return the control.

now here is a question, why displayName was working for the the user name that exsist in active directory and getting stuck for those who do not exsist in active dirctory.

i hope so i made my point clear.
in short its not php fault, coz other tools also get stuck.

thanks :)
let me rephrase it by code

CASE 1: [Matching field displayName]
#$chrName = "Mazhar Hassan"; #works fine,coz exsist in AD
$chrName = "M Hassan"; #crashes the system, not exsist in the AD
$sr=ldap_search($ds, $LDAP_DN, "(displayName=$chrName)");
Note: on my production environment i cant find displayName Field

CASE 2:[Matching field sxdisplayName]
#$chrName = "Mazhar Hassan"; #works fine,coz exsist in AD
$chrName = "M Hassan"; #Also works fine, but not exsist in the AD
$sr=ldap_search($ds, $LDAP_DN, "(sxdisplayName=$chrName)");

Expected:
i think that case1 must stuck for both user exsist in AD or not, but for one it give result and for other it get stuck, moreover i this displayName field doesnot exsist in AD.

can any one please help me in this.

Thanks in Advance
