Answer 1

When I read your code right, there are two issues:

1. The port you are giving will never be used in the ldap_connect. The docs clearly state that using the port as second argument to ldap_connect is deprecated and will only be used when you pass a servername or IP. But you are passing a URI, so that needs to include the port as well.

2. You are trying to bind as $username . $hostname. So you are tying to conntect 'someuser' as someuserldaps://www.google.com - I doubt that that will ever work. You probably want something like someuser@www.google.com...
