This is not just a documentation problem.


Not only does 

  $ldap_connection = ldap_connect("does.not.exist")

return a resource id when it obviously shouldn't, but

  ldap_bind($ldap_connection, 'username', 'password')

also returns true.

If the actual connect occurs with ldap_bind(), why does it return true
for a server that does not exist?


Regards.

Rather anoying though since ldap_bind also fails when using a wrong
password... only looking at bind fails doen't neccessarily mean, that
the ldap server is down :(

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
