   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

   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"

    return_value["count"] = number of values for attribute
    return_value[0] = first value of attribute
    return_value[i] = ith value of attribute
