### Description

ldap_first_attribute(LDAP\Connection `$ldap`, LDAP\ResultEntry `$entry`): string|false

Gets the first attribute in the given entry. Remaining attributes are retrieved by calling ldap_next_attribute() successively.

Similar to reading entries, attributes are also read one by one from a particular entry.

### Parameters

`ldap`

  An LDAP\Connection instance, returned by ldap_connect().

`entry`

  An LDAP\ResultEntry instance.

### Return Values

Returns the first attribute in the entry on success and `false` on error.
