<?php
// LDAP variables
$ldap[‘user’] = ‘uname’;
$ldap[‘pass’] = ‘password’;
$ldap[‘host’] = ‘ldap.example.com’;
$ldap[‘port’] = 389;
$ldap[‘dn’] = ‘cn’.$ldap[‘user’].’,ou=Department,o=Company Name’;
$ldap[‘base’] = ‘’;

// connecting to ldap
$ldap[‘conn’] = ldap_connect( $ldap[‘host’], $ldap[‘port’] )
or die( “Could not connect to {$ldap[‘host’]}” );
?>




we tried meny more

when we test ldap it works but when we use the php scripts it just gives an line 7 error. Hvae you guys ever tried anything like this before?

[marek_mar]

What is on the lines artound line 7 (and on line 7) and what is the error msg?

[ChronicleX.com]

hmmm i tried another script got the line 7 error agian i think it's to do with the way it connects to ldap



<?php
// basic sequence with LDAP is connect, bind, search, interpret search
// result, close connection

echo "<h3>LDAP query test</h3>";
echo "Connecting ...";
$ds=ldap_connect("localhost"); // must be a valid LDAP server!
echo "connect result is ".$ds."<p>";

if ($ds) {
echo "Binding ...";
$r=ldap_bind($ds); // this is an "anonymous" bind, typically
// read-only access
echo "Bind result is ".$r."<p>";

echo "Searching for (sn=S*) ...";
// Search surname entry
$sr=ldap_search($ds,"o=My Company, c=US", "sn=S*");
echo "Search result is ".$sr."<p>";

echo "Number of entires returned is ".ldap_count_entries($ds,$sr)."<p>";

echo "Getting entries ...<p>";
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
echo "Data for ".$info["count"]." items returned:<p>";

for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
echo "dn is: ". $info[$i]["dn"] ."<br>";
echo "first cn entry is: ". $info[$i]["cn"][0] ."<br>";
echo "first email entry is: ". $info[$i]["mail"][0] ."<p>";
}

echo "Closing connection";
ldap_close($ds);

} else {
echo "<h4>Unable to connect to LDAP server</h4>";
}
?>




ERROR

LDAP query test
Connecting ...
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect() in [url path]/ldap.php on line 7


our ldap is running fine when we use run on it. But when we try to access ldap by php we are unsure on what to put in the $ds=ldap_connect("localhost"); // must be a valid LDAP server! we tried (ldap.domain.local) and some others but they don't work????

From the error message it looks like your PHP interpreter has not been compiled with LDAP support and/or this extension is not enabled. Check that it appears in the list of extensions shown after a call of phpinfo().

[ChronicleX.com]

we did a php(); script and could not find anything saying ldap in it so does that mean we do don't have it intsalled???

[mordred]

Exactly.

Try to enable the extension by uncommenting it in the php.ini file. There should be a line like this (roughly, out of my head):

;extension=php_ldap.dll

Remove the semi-colon. If that doesn't yield the expected results, you have to check your path to the extension directory and whether the php_ldap.dll (or whatever it is called) exists. Futher, it could be that this extension needs other dlls to find in the system. Check the manual for this issue.

Too many quotes in

$sr=ldap_search($ds,"OU=Users,OU=Beeston,OU=J Tomlinson,DC=jtomlinson,DC=local"sn=s*");

[ChronicleX.com]

so what would i need to take out am A PHP NOOBIE

[ChronicleX.com]

i tried every thing am very confused. With this now getting me mad :mad: stupid thing don't work.

[mordred]

Take a deep breath, reread the manual page and then you eventually see that you missed a comma and a double quote to seperate the parameters in your ldap_search() call.


$sr=ldap_search($ds,"OU=Users,OU=Beeston,OU=J Tomlinson,DC=jtomlinson,DC=local", "sn=s*");


Does that help?

[marek_mar]

Too many quotes in

$sr=ldap_search($ds,"OU=Users,OU=Beeston,OU=J Tomlinson,DC=jtomlinson,DC=local"sn=s*");

That means you have to cut one of the quotes out,

$sr=ldap_search($ds,"OU=Users,OU=Beeston,OU=J Tomlinson,DC=jtomlinson,DC=local,sn=s*");
Try that.
