UTF8 and Net_LDAP:

It is hard to know exactly what entries need utf8 every time you need them,
so here's the simple way to salvation:

Net_LDAP will check internally if utf8 is needed.

Code:
      // $attr is some text a user entered with funny characters in it.
      // If $attr should not be utfized (f.x. userPassword) then utf8Encode
      // will not encode the attribute.
      $attr = $ldap->utf8Encode($attr); 
      // now insert the correctly encoded attribute  into the directory.
      $entry->modify($attr);
      
      // later when you access the attributes of that user, decode the ones
      // that have to be decoded.
      $attr = $ldap->utf8Decode( $entry->attributes() );
                  
Thanks to Jan for the code.
