Installation

LDAP support in PHP is not enabled by default. You will need to use the --with-ldap[=DIR] configuration option when compiling PHP to enable LDAP support. DIR is the LDAP base install directory. To enable SASL support, be sure --with-ldap-sasl[=DIR] is used, and that sasl.h exists on the system.

Note: Note to Win32 Users

In order for this extension to work, there are DLL files that must be available to the Windows system PATH. For information on how to do this, see the FAQ entitled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows". Although copying DLL files from the PHP folder into the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system's PATH), this is not recommended. This extension requires the following files to be in the PATH: libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, or, as of OpenSSL 1.1 libcrypto-*.dll and libssl-*.dll

In order to use Oracle LDAP libraries, proper Oracle environment has to be set.

I found not only "Versions before PHP 4.3.0 additionally require libsasl.dll.".

If you use php-5.3.3-Win32-VC9-x86 or later Versions that
It's require libsasl.dll.

Running under Windows & Apache 2.2.8
PHP file is download from http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/

When I use php-5.2.x-Win32-VC6-x86 and php-5.3.x-Win32-VC6-x86

1.just uncomment extension=php_ldap.dll in php.ini
2.Restart apache,it's ok

When I use php-5.3.x-Win32-VC9-x86 and php-5.4.x-Win32-VC9-x86

1.just uncomment extension=php_ldap.dll in php.ini
2.Restart apache,always fail...
(only php-5.3.1-Win32-VC9-x86 & php-5.3.2-Win32-VC9-x86 is ok. )

[php-5.3.3-Win32-VC9-x86 or later Versions]
1.just uncomment extension=php_ldap.dll in php.ini
2.copy libsasl.dll to [apache folder]\bin
3.Restart apache,it's ok

If using a debian machine (debian or ubuntu variants) just do apt-get install php5-ldap, that's all to get ldap work on php. No need to get sources, try to compiling them and so on.

On newer versions of Windows and Windows Server, if you've installed PHP from the Microsoft Web Platform Installer (PI) then all you have to do is add extension=php_ldap.dll to the extensions section and restart IIS.

OCI client from Oracle distributes un ldap.h which may collision with the SO ldap.h.
You can, remove the Oracle ldap.h and build or configure php without oci8 and then add OCI8 later as a shared extension.
This latter step is easiest using PECL: pecl install oci8. You will then need to add 'extension=oci8.so' to your php.ini.
