Use ldap inside of Docker-container

I have 2 docker containers. Inside of the first docker-container is my lamp application with php-7.3.4, apache2 ; inside of the second one is mysql database.

I've tried to connect ldap server inside first container. I proceed to the 'test-project' folder and configured custom_config.inc.php

 $tlCfg->authentication['method'] = 'LDAP';

 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_server'] = 'ldap.xyz.com';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_port'] = '389';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_version'] = '3';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_root_dn'] = 'dc=xyz,dc=com';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_bind_dn'] = 'uid=tl,ou=staff,dc=xyz,dc=com';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_bind_passwd'] = 'XYZw';
 $tlCfg->authentication['ldap_tls'] = false; // true -> use tls

After I have tried to login to the webpage via ldap credentials and throwed http error 500

When I viewed logs I got:

Error: https://i.sstatic.net/hST65.jpg

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function

You need to put the following lines in your php Dockerfile

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    libldap2-dev

RUN docker-php-ext-configure ldap --with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
RUN docker-php-ext-install ldap

YourApache/PHP container is missing the PHP LDAP extension. You will need to either rebuild that container so that it includes the PHP LDAP extension or you need to use a Userland LDAP-library like https://packagist.org/packages/freedsx/LDAP (never used it so can't say anything about it). Beware that the Userland library uses a different API than the PHP extension, so you will need to rewrite your code. So in the end rebuilding your container can be the easier solution.
