#15637 [Com]: if using URI, ldap_connect() returns resource ID when server does not exist

ID: 15637 Comment by: korte-php at et dot rub dot de Reported By: cjm46543 at hotmail dot com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux - RedHat 7.2 PHP Version: 4.4.0-dev New Comment: Rather anoying though since ldap_bind also fails when using a wrong password... only looking at bind fails doen't neccessarily mean, that the ldap server is down :( Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-10 12:30:10] sniper@php.net When openldap 2.x is used, the ldap_connect() does not actually connect, it just initializes the connecting parameters. The actual connect happens with next calls to ldap_* funcs, usually it is 'ldap_bind()'. This is just documentation problem. Not any bug in code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-24 19:51:01] philip@php.net Yes, I still get ldap resources everytime except when passing in "/" or a wrong parameter count. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-20 16:12:25] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip With latest CVS it returns FALSE when appropriate, cannot replicate the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-17 22:26:57] philip@php.net I cannot get ldap_connect() to return false under ANY conditions, including with the examples provided in this bug report. I find this behavior impossible to document, please have another look at this. Reclassifying -> ldap related. Shouldn't these return false? They are not URI's: var_dump(ldap_connect('foo')); var_dump(ldap_connect('does.not.exist')); I get resources with both. apache1.3.26/php4.4/openldap2.0.23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-06 11:28:38] martin at kouba dot at when using an ip address ldap_connect doesn't work as described. $server = "10.1.1.100"; $port = "389"; $ds = ldap_connect($server, $port); the result is true even if the server does not exist or the service is not running. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
