//searching for sub entries
$sr=ldap_list($ds,$dn,"ObjectClass=*",array(""));
$info = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr);
for($i=0;$i<$info['count'];$i++){
//deleting recursively sub entries
$result=myldap_delete($ds,$info[$i]['dn'],$recursive);
if(!$result){

If you receive a "Strong(er) authentication required" error message when you try to delete an entry on OpenLDAP 2.1.6 set LDAP version 3 first:
$ds = ldap_connect($my_ldap_host);
ldap_set_option($ds, LDAP_OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, 3);
$r=@ldap_bind($ds,$bind_dn,$bind_pwd);
Enjoy LDAP
