Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip With latest CVS it returns FALSE when appropriate, cannot replicate the problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 22:26:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I cannot get ldap_connect() to return false under ANY conditions, including with the examples provided in this bug report. I find this behavior impossible to document, please have another look at this. Reclassifying -> ldap related. Shouldn't these return false? They are not URI's: var_dump(ldap_connect('foo')); var_dump(ldap_connect('does.not.exist')); I get resources with both. apache1.3.26/php4.4/openldap2.0.23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-06 11:28:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] when using an ip address ldap_connect doesn't work as described. $server = "10.1.1.100"; $port = "389"; $ds = ldap_connect($server, $port); the result is true even if the server does not exist or the service is not running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-27 16:27:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have observed something like this (in php-4.30rc3): The whole script: <? $ldaphost = "nonexistendserver"; $ldapport = 389; $ldapconn = ldap_connect( $ldaphost, $ldapport ) or die( "Could not connect to {$ldaphost}" ); echo $ldapconn; // display a valid ldap resource ?> regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-29 09:07:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, in php-4.30rcX, the ldap_connect doesn't perform the connection, so documentation should be updated. But, the documention (on zend site) for ldap_connect is: ldap_connect() establishes a connection to a LDAP server on a specified hostname and port. Both the arguments are optional. --> If no arguments are specified then the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned. In my script i don't have any previous opened link, so i think the function would return FALSE. Or the documention is wrong and need correction. <?php $ds = ldap_connect ( ); echo $ds // return a valid ldap resource ?> Sincerely ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-31 15:09:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] suggests that "Checking the return code of ldap_bind() would be the proper thing to do anyway." However, the act of calling ldap_bind generates an error message on the page, e.g.: "Warning: LDAP: Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server in /home/shop/www/ldaps-1.php on line 8" before any check can be made on the results of ldap_bind(). We are trying to create our first secure ldap system, and the false-positive returns from ldap_connect() are making it difficult to track down problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
