PHP with LDAP

[dmccabe]

I am wanting to try and create a php page to use an address book, this page will query our Active Directory and display the details of members of staff.

 

At this stage I should point out I am no php expert, but am following instructions from

 

http://www.developer.com/lang/php/article.php/3100951

 

and

 

http://uk.php.net/ldap

 

If I put this in:

echo "<h3>LDAP query test</h3>";
echo "Connecting ...";
putenv('LDAPTLS_REQCERT=never') or die('Failed to setup the env');
$ds=ldap_connect("lch-ad.lch.com");  // must be a valid LDAP server!
echo "connect result is " . $ds . "<br />";

 

then I get:

 

LDAP query test

Connecting ...connect result is Resource id #1

 

This is with php5 setup on my machine locally running IIS on Windows XP Pro SP

 

If I change the ldap address it makes no different to the result.

 

Any clues from anyone?

Well I get the same echo from a mysql result. Have you read anything about the ldap object? or anything else about ldap other than connecting? You might want to try accessing the address book for the directory to get some more details. Maybe it's just working?

Thanks for the reply, but it definitely isn't working, if I change the name of the LDAP server to anything else such as "blahblahblah", then I get the same response.  Which would indicate it just isnt talking to the server.

i noticed this too; however when changing userID and password it does matter.  i can rePost, but i will watch this thread for someone who may shed some light on it... thx!!
