Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect()

I get this error when using WAMP:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: ldap_connect()

I have already edited the php.ini folder and enabled php_ldap.dll.

For some reason only some of the extensions show up in phpinfo() when I turn them on. I have restarted Apache and restarted my computer.

Thank you all for your contributions. For my part, I needed to act on the 3 following points to make ldap_connect() work in PHP8.2.3 :

  1. add php_ldap.dll to php.ini
  2. copy libsasl.dll from PHP to APACHE
  3. add the PHP path to the PATH environment variable then restart APACHE

My server is Windows Server 2016 with Apache 2.4, and I was having this error too. Move the file libsasl.dll, from C:\php to C:\apache\bin and Restart Apache.

Open the XAMMP php.ini file (the default path is C:\xammp\php\php.ini) and change the code (;extension=ldap) to extension=php_ldap.dll and save. Restart XAMMP and save.

php.ini

; Notes for Windows environments :
;
; - Many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) or ext/ (PHP 5+)
;   extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5+).
;   Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
;
extension=bz2
extension=curl
extension=fileinfo
extension=gd2
extension=gettext
;extension=gmp
;extension=intl
;extension=imap
;extension=interbase
extension=php_ldap.dll

If you are a Windows user, this is a common error when you use XAMPP since LDAP is not enabled by default.

You can follow this steps to make sure LDAP works in your XAMPP:

  • [Your Drive]:\xampp\php\php.ini: In this file uncomment the following line:

     extension=php_ldap.dll

  • Move the file: libsasl.dll, from [Your Drive]:\xampp\php to [Your Drive]:\xampp\apache\bin (Note: moving the file is needed only for XAMPP prior to version: 5.6.28)

  • Restart Apache.

  • You can now use functions of the LDAP Module!

If you use Linux:

For php5:

sudo apt-get install php5-ldap

For php7:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-ldap

If you are using the latest version of PHP you can do

sudo apt-get install php-ldap

running the above command should do the trick.

if for any reason it doesn't work check your php.ini configuration to enable ldap, remove the semicolon before extension=ldap to uncomment, save and restart Apache

Add path of your PHP to Windows System Path. The path should contain php.exe.

After adding the path open a new command prompt and make sure php.exe is in path by typing

C:\>php --help

Once you see proper help message from above, enable the php_ldap.dll extension in php.ini

Also copy php_ldap.dll from php/ext directory to apache/bin folder

Restart wamp and phpinfo() will now show ldap enabled.
