Hi Graham,

I am having some difficulties setting up a dynamically genereated Filter
in my CGI.
Could you help?

I want to be able to construct a filter that is a mix of AND and OR
logic. eg
Here is the logic

If name is provided, then $Query = &(cn=$name)
also, if city is provided, then
Query = city-1 or city-2 and name= $name

More specifically

$Query = '|(city=Phoenix)(city=Santa Clara)'
$ldap->search( base => 'o=Prepass, c=US', filter => "($Query)" )

works fine.
but

$Query = &(cn=*medi*)|(city=Phoenix)(city=Santa Clara)
$ldap->search( base => 'o=Prepass, c=US', filter => "($Query)" )

yield "Bad Filter"

I have tried putting () around each group with no avail. Can you show
me a mix of AND and OR logic in a filter please.
