ldap_error - Return the LDAP error message of the last LDAP command

SYNOPSIS
       string ldap_error (resource  $link_identifier)

DESCRIPTION
	Returns  the string error message explaining the error generated by the last LDAP command for the given $link_identifier. While LDAP errno
       numbers are standardized, different libraries return different or even localized textual error messages. Never check for a  specific  error
       message text, but always use an error number to check.

	Unless	you  lower your warning level in your php.ini sufficiently or prefix your LDAP commands with @ (at) characters to suppress warning
       output, the errors generated will also show up in your HTML output.

PARAMETERS
	      o $link_identifier
		- An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect(3).

RETURN VALUES
	Returns string error message.

SEE ALSO
       ldap_err2str(3), ldap_errno(3).
