Thanks to Jochem Mass for helping earlier to the string splitting. Works
great (so far). Now on to my next problem, which has to do with
ldap_bind().



I have the following code:



$ldapconn = @ldap_connect($adServer);

$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldapuser, $ldappass);



if ($ldapbind) {

/** Successful authentication **/

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;

$_SESSION['password'] = $password;

} else {

/** Authentication failure **/

$form->setError($field, "« Invalid username or password
»");

}

ldap_unbind($ldapconn);



The problem with this is that if the ldap_bind() fails in the second line,
it instantly spits text out to the browser:



Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind
]: Unable to
bind to server: Invalid credentials in /home/contest/include/session.php on
line 351



And because it does that, it never reaches the if routine right below it and
everything just bombs. If I call it with @ldap_bind($ldapconn .) nothing
happens. The error message gets suppressed but it also doesn't do anything
with the if routine afterwards. It's almost like $ldapbind isn't getting
set at all.



What am I missing here?

Re: ldap_bind() connectivity

You might want to check what the function outputs with:

var_dump($ldapbind);

after the call to ldap_bing(). That way you'll know what actually got
returned from the function.

SOLVED. As it turned out, it had nothing to do with ldap_bind() ... it =
had to do with the fact that my brain is still adjusting from the time =
change and I missed an 'echo' ...

Thanks all.
