Sounds to me like you've installed:
LDAP
PHP
but you have *not* installed the PHP-LDAP module.

Search in your apt-get thingie for something like "php_ldap" or "phpldap"
which will be the PHP extension that lets PHP actually use LDAP, as
opposed to just happening to have both LDAP and PHP installed on the same
machine.
