I believe the manual says that ldap_connect doesn't actually make the
connection but rather it just simply sets up the connection
parameters. The actual connection doesn't happen until ldap_bind is
executed.
- or so I recall reading some where ;-)

Hi
I have this code (PHP5) as part of a class to do some LDAP stuff...
public function connect()
{
$this->ds = @ldap_connect( $this->server, $this->port ); ###
This seems to return true no matter waht????
if ( $this->ds ) {
// A successful connection was made
$this->message .= 'A successful connection was made to the
LDAP server: <b>' . $this->server . "</b><br /><br /> \n";
} else {
// The connection was not successful
$this->message .= 'It was not possible to connect to the
LDAP server: <b>' . $this->server . "</b><br /> \n";
$this->message .= 'LDAP Error Message: ' .
ldap_error( $this->ds ) . "<br /> \n";
$this->message .= 'LDAP Error Number: ' .
ldap_errno( $this->ds ) . "<br /> \n";
}
}
As you can see, I am expecting a return value of true only if the
ldap_connect makes a successful connection. However, even if I pass
values which should make a false, it gives a true.
What am I missing out on here - could any one tell me why true is
always
returned?
Cheers
Steve
