Can't contact LDAP server

[dcparham]

[didn't see a problem/solution in the forum] -

using Ubuntu 8.04, PHP5, LDAP installed

ldap section in phpinfo:

ldap
LDAP Support 	enabled
RCS Version 	$Id: ldap.c,v 1.161.2.3.2.11 2007/07/17 09:09:42 jani Exp $
Total Links 	0/unlimited
API Version 	3001
Vendor Name 	OpenLDAP
Vendor Version 	20409
SASL Support 	Enabled 

php code:

<?php
	error_reporting(E_ALL);          // place these two lines at the top of 
	ini_set('display_errors', 1);    // the script you are debugging
	phpinfo();

$ldapHost = "ldap://ip of server goes here, and works - connects fine, and authenticates with below id and password/just does not "contact LDAP server"";
$ldapPort = "363";

$ldapUser = "ID";
$ldapPswd = "PASSWORD";
$ldapLink = ldap_connect($ldapHost) or die("Can't establish LDAP connection");
ldap_bind($ldapLink, $ldapUser, $ldapPswd) or die("Can't bind to the server");
//$results = ldap_search($ldapLink, $dn, "givenName=Abby");

	$dn = "CN=Abby Normal,DC=anormal";

[line 22] 	$results = ldap_search($ldapLink, $dn, "givenName=Abby");
	 	var_dump($results);	 	

?>

[output]
Warning: ldap_search() [function.ldap-search]: Search: Can't contact LDAP server in /var/www/ldapTest1.php on line 22
bool(false)
[/output]
is the port wrong? is the $dn correct?
any help is appreciated!

your missing params:

$ldap_server = ""; //IP ADDRESS OF LDAP
$ldap_dn = ""; //NAME OF AD FOREST
$ldap_gn = ""; //OU TO SEARCH IN (IF NEEDED)
$ldap_attr = array("*"); //WHAT TO RETURN IN YOUR SEARCH

$ad = ldap_connect($ldap_server);
$lv = ldap_set_option($ad, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
$bd = ldap_bind($ad,$ldap_user,$ldap_password);
$result = ldap_search($ad, $ldap_dn, $ldap_filter, $ldap_attr);
$entries = ldap_get_entries($ad, $result);

//CHECK IF USER IS IN $ldap_gn
$belongs = in_array($ldap_gn,$entries[0]['memberof']) ? TRUE : FALSE;

that's a rather boiled down and redacted version of what I use

thanks mucho scrupul0us... turns out i had to use the particular definitions for the "OU" part of the $dn variable. [our OU name is our city name.] getting back to LDAP a little later... thank you for your input!
