Hi

$sr = @ldap_search($ds,"OU=Benutzergruppen, DC=domain, DC=tld",
"Company=" . $strCompany);

Here you supress the error by using @.
I might very well return false or something, because the ldap_search was
wrong.

Stop surpressing it, and you'll get more possibly usefull information.

$sr = ldap_sort($ds, $sr, 'givenname');

Why don't you do a print_r($sr) before using it?
