Connect to an LDAP server
&reftitle.description;

stringhostnameNULL
intport389
Establishes a connection to a LDAP server on a specified
hostname and port.
&reftitle.parameters;
hostname
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 set this parameter as
ldaps://hostname/.
port
The port to connect to. Not used when using URLs.
&reftitle.returnvalues;
Returns a positive LDAP link identifier on success, or &false; on error.
When OpenLDAP 2.x.x is used, ldap_connect will always
return a resource as it does not actually connect but just
initializes the connecting parameters. The actual connect happens with
the next calls to ldap_* funcs, usually with
ldap_bind.
If no arguments are specified then the link identifier of the already
opened link will be returned.
