[PHP-DOC] #15637 [Opn->Ana]: if using URI, ldap_connect() returns resource ID when server does not exist From: sniper <email protected>

+Status: Analyzed
-Bug Type: LDAP related
+Bug Type: Documentation problem
 Operating System: Linux - RedHat 7.2

 New Comment:

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.

Yes, I still get ldap resources everytime except when passing in "/" or
a wrong parameter count.

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.

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

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.

I have observed something like this (in php-4.30rc3):
The whole script:

<?
$ldaphost = "nonexistendserver";
$ldapport = 389;
$ldapconn = ldap_connect( $ldaphost, $ldapport )
          or die( "Could not connect to {$ldaphost}" );
echo $ldapconn; // display a valid ldap resource
?>

regards.
