Knowing Problems
----------------

    1. For LDAP Explorer version <= 1.14 

       Module PHP4/PHP3 for LDAP can not retrieve attribute which is
       binary correctly. In order to do it, you must recompile php-ldap 
       or mod_php3-ldap with patch. 
    
       Patch for PHP3 ldap module can be found at:

            ftp://igloo.its.unimelb.edu.au/pub/Linux/PHP3
     
       Patch for PHP4 ldap module can be found at:

            ftp://igloo.its.unimelb.edu.au/pub/Linux/PHP4
     
       and there are binary RPM packages ready. 

	2. For LDAP Explorer version >= 1.15 (require PHP 4.x) doesn't need
       any patch for PHP. It implements the new function ldap_get_values_len ()
       in PHP 4.x. And developers of PHP have added my patch to the 
       source code repository tree. See <http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php>

       ......

       + Made ldap_add(), ldap_modify(), ldap_mod_add(), ldap_mod_replace() binary-safe. Original patch: Terrence Miao <terrence_miao@email.com> (Jani)
