 * I finally got my LDAP plugin ported to WP2 from WP 1.5.2 but found a bug in the
   WP2 plugin environment.
 * It seems that wp-config.php isn’t always used when plugin functions are called.
 * Defining something in wp-config.php:
 * define(‘LDAP_COOKIE_MARKER’, ‘LDAP’);
 * doesn’t always propagate through to the plugin function. Sometimes it does, sometimes
   it doesn’t.
 * e.g.
 * echo “<br>”.LDAP_COOKIE_MARKER.”<br>”;
 * from within a plugin function will sometimes display “LDAP” and other times display“
   LDAP_COOKIE_MARKER”.
 * This wasn’t the case in 1.5.2 when defines in wp-config.php always propagated
   to the plugin functions.
 * Defining LDAP_COOKIE_MARKER locally in the plugin PHP file solves the problem.

 * You will likely get better responses to specific code questions from the WP-HACKERS
   mailing list.
