Reads all the values of the attribute in the entry in the result.

This call needs a <parameter>result_entry_identifier</parameter>,
so needs to be preceded by one of the ldap search calls and one
of the calls to get an individual entry.
</para>
<para>
You application will either be hard coded to look for certain
attributes (such as "surname" or "mail") or you will have to use
the <function>ldap_get_attributes</function> call to work out
what attributes exist for a given entry.

<para>
Returns an array of values for the attribute on success and &false; on
error. The number of values can be found by indexing "count" in the
resultant array. Individual values are accessed by integer index in the
array. The first index is 0.

<para>
LDAP allows more than one entry for an attribute, so it can, for example,
store a number of email addresses for one person's directory entry all
labeled with the attribute "mail"
<informalexample>
<literallayout>
return_value["count"] = number of values for attribute
return_value[0] = first value of attribute
return_value[i] = ith value of attribute
