: Subject: [thelist] age old question: how to deal with addressbook export
: 
: Hello. Recently I was working on an company directory project where the
: backend uses LDAP to store  contact (and other information) of several
: thousands of companies. The project is done in php.
: 
: Now the requirement is to export the contact data. I think of CSV. But I
: am not sure how I will handle language information and/or multiple
: values of LDAP, e.g. the company have 3 addresses and each of them have
: 3 languages. Perhaps I should export to some spreadsheet format so that
: I can use different tabs for different languages.

Why don't you export to LDIF? Most LDAP tools will work with that.

Cheers
Ken
