LDAP_CONNECT(3) 1 LDAP_CONNECT(3)ldap_connect - Connect to an LDAP serverSYNOPSIS
resource ldap_connect NULL ([string $hostname], [int $port = 389])
DESCRIPTION
Establishes a connection to a LDAP server on a specified $hostname and $port.
PARAMETERS
o $hostname
- If you are using OpenLDAP 2.x.x you can specify a URL instead of the hostname. To use LDAP with SSL, compile OpenLDAP 2.x.x with
SSL support, configure PHP with SSL, and set this parameter as ldaps://hostname/.
o $port
- The port to connect to. Not used when using URLs.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a positive LDAP link identifier on success, or FALSE on error. When OpenLDAP 2.x.x is used, ldap_connect(3) will always return a
resource as it does not actually connect but just initializes the connecting parameters. The actual connect happens with the next calls to
ldap_* funcs, usually with ldap_bind(3).
If no arguments are specified then the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Example of connecting to LDAP server.
<?php
// LDAP variables
$ldaphost = "ldap.example.com"; // your ldap servers
$ldapport = 389; // your ldap server's port number
// Connecting to LDAP
$ldapconn = ldap_connect($ldaphost, $ldapport)
or die("Could not connect to $ldaphost");
?>
Example #2
Example of connecting securely to LDAP server.
<?php
// make sure your host is the correct one
// that you issued your secure certificate to
$ldaphost = "ldaps://ldap.example.com/";
// Connecting to LDAP
$ldapconn = ldap_connect($ldaphost)
or die("Could not connect to {$ldaphost}");
?>
