Hi

I am running a LAMP setup consisting of Debian (testing), PHP4, Apache2, and
MySQL 4.

When I installed php, I used apt-get, and included in the list of modules
was libapache2_mod_php4 php4 php4-ldap ...

PHP works fine, and a test phpinfo() brings up all of the expected
parameters (at least I think it does).

The one thing that doesn't work is ldap. I have enabled the ldap modules -
a2enmod ldap - and this doesn't throw an error, it just prompts for the
apache restart which in turn restarts fine.

BUT if I run a very simple ldap_connect (see script) I get this error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect()
in /www/stevedev/vhtdocs/ldap/index.php on line 27

So it appears that the ldap hasn't got itself running with php.

The very simple test script I used was;

$ds = ldap_connect('ldap.<our server>.net');
if ($ds) {
ldap_bind($ds);
echo 'connected';
} else {
echo 'not connected';
}

Has any one got any ideas of why this error get thrown?

Regards
Steve
