Description
int ldap_connect ([string hostname [, int port]])
Returns a positive LDAP link identifier on success, or false on
error.
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. If only
hostname is specified, then the port
defaults to 389.
If you are using OpenLDAP 2.x.x you can specify a URL instead of the
hostname. To use LDAP with SSL, compile OpenLDAP 2.x.x with SSL
support, configure PHP with SSL, and use ldaps://hostname/ as
host parameter. The port parameter is not used when using URLs.
URL and SSL support were added in 4.0.4.
