Code below from the manual. I changed $ldaphost to some fictitious name. When I ran the script, I always get the message "Connection was successful !" Why didn't the script bomb and give the could not connect message? <?php // LDAP variables $ldaphost = "ldap.noname.com"; // your ldap servers

$ldapport = 389;                 // your ldap server's port number

// Connecting to LDAP $ldapconn = ldap_connect($ldaphost, $ldapport)

          or die("Could not connect to $ldaphost");

print "Connection was successful !";

http://php.net/ldap_connect "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()." :)
