Bug description: if using URI, ldap_connect() returns resource ID when server does
not exist
I'm running a very simple test script (see below) to test my ldap server
connection. According to the docs, ldap_connect() is supposed to return
an LDAP resource id on successful connect, or FALSE on error. When I run
the code with a valid server URI ($ds =
ldap_connect("ldap://ldap.example.com")), everything works fine. When I
run it with a URI to a nonexistent LDAP server ($ds =
ldap_connect("ldap://does.not.exist")), ldap_connect returns a resource ID
anyway, so my script has no way of knowing anything is wrong until I try
to bind or search. If I simply give a nonexistent hostname rather than a
URI ($ds = ldap_connect("does.not.exist")) the function returns FALSE as
documented.
I built PHP 4.1.1 against the client libraries from OpenLDAP 2.0.21.
Here's the full code of my test script:
<?php
$ds = ldap_connect("ldap://ldap.example.com/");
echo "connect result is ".$ds."<p>";
if($ds) {
$r=ldap_bind($ds);
echo "Bind result is ".$r."<p>";
$sr=ldap_search($ds, "ou=users,dc=example,dc=com", "uid=carljm");
echo "Search result is ".$sr."<p>";
echo "Number of entires returned is
".ldap_count_entries($ds,$sr)."<p>";
echo "Getting entries ...<p>";
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
echo "Data for ".$info["count"]." items returned:<p>";
for ($i=0; $i<$info["count"]; $i++) {
echo "dn is: ". $info[$i]["dn"] ."<br>";
echo "first cn entry is: ". $info[$i]["cn"][0] ."<br>";
echo "first uidNumber entry is: ". $info[$i]["uidnumber"][0] ."<p>";
}
echo "Closing connection";
ldap_close($ds);
?>
