PHP ldap_connect() problems
I am trying to get ldap_connect to work properly. It will work fine via CLI, but not when I open my php file via browser.
Here is what I believe are the relevant details:
- Error message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function ldap_connect() in F:\Websites\ldap.php on line 4
- OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64
- PHP Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP
- libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll have been added to both C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin and C:\Windows\System32. They were copied from C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP.
Lines added to httpd.conf:
- LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files (x86)/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
- PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files (x86)/PHP"
Things changed in php.ini:
- extension_dir = "C:/Program Files (x86)/PHP/ext" (path set)
- extension=php_ldap.dll (uncommented this line)
I'm pulling my hair out, so I am more than happy to try anything people suggest.
Answer
Your PHP installation uses two different ini files - one when running from the command line, and a different one when running through Apache. This is evidenced by the fact that it works from the CLI, but not in a browser.
You can find the paths to the two files using phpinfo() (in a browser) and by passing the -i flag to php from the command line. Near the top of both sets of output you will find the path to the ini file in use, and I would be mighty surprised if they were identical. From the command line you can get more detailed information by passing the --ini flag.
The fact that you are getting Call to undefined function ldap_connect() can only mean that the LDAP extension was not loaded, and this can only be true through Apache but not through the CLI if they use two different ini files.
