note 82918 added to function.ldap-connect

If you have oci8 and are trying to use openldap for ldap you *may* run into a problem. I have an Oracle database that I connect to from apache. Oracle also has ldap libs which were taking precedence over the openldap libs. This would cause a seg fault when calling ldap_connect with a uri style connect string; e.g. ldap_connect("ldaps://myldapserver.host"); After using gdb to debug a core dump and a lot of googling I found that the solution was to add an env-var to apachectl startup. I am using Apache 2.2.8 with PHP 5.2.5 on RHEL. I added: LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libldap.so export LD_PRELOAD in /usr/sbin/envvars which is read when apachectl starts.
