+1 on that solution. Just throwing "host:port" onto something doesn't
help anyone. Try that with "www.google.com:443" in your favourite
browser. Most will give you an error (if it's not port 80). So those
people that try it will eventually read the documentation on php.net and
then see that it's not supported.
The only extension I'd see to it would be to check whether someone is
trying that and raising an error in PHP describing that "this format is
not supported! Please use ldap(s)://hostname:port instead"
@come do you see to the version note in the documentation or shall I?
Cheers
Andreas
