PHP LDAP connection 1

[BettyJo50]

Hi,

I am trying to just make an LDAP connection using PHP script. Can anyone please help me? This is the code I am trying.

<?php

$ldaphost = ldap_connect(&quot;11.123.1.56&quot;
$ldapconn = ldap_connect( $ldaphost )
or die( &quot;Could not connect {$ldaphost}&quot; );


?>

Thank you for your help!!!

do you need to connect twice with the same function ???


this can also be rewritten as
$ldaphost = ldap_connect(&quot;11.123.1.56&quot;
$ldapconn = ldap_connect(ldap_connect(&quot;11.123.1.56&quot)
or die( &quot;Could not connect {$ldaphost}&quot; );

??

this looks more logic to me to try
$ldapconn = ldap_connect(&quot;11.123.1.56&quot
or die( &quot;Could not connect&quot; );

Oh, no. I do not need to connect twice.

Thank you for your help!!

May I ask another question? Is there something else I need to make the ldap connection? I only get a blank screen.

Thank you!!!

Nothing at the moment. I get a blank screen. I was just trying to see if I could even get a connection. Is there a way to test that? (As you can tell, I'm new to this...sorry!)

Thanks!!!

Although the online manual page (

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-connect.php)

does not explicitly say so, I'd wager that if the connect function cannot connect, it will return the value FALSE.

Add code that tests for that value and outputs some text reporting its findings.
