Cannot get ldap to work

[MacGoose]

Hi!I'm trying to get ldap to work using php. This is my code:

<?php		echo "<h3>LDAP query test</h3>";		echo "Connecting to...<br />";		$ds = ldap_connect( "ldap.ntnu.no" );		echo "Connect result is ( " . $ds . " )<br />";		if( $ds ) {				echo "Binding...<br />";				$r = ldap_bind( $ds );				echo "Bind result is ( " . $r . " )<br />";				if( $r ) {						echo "Searching...<br />";						$sr = ldap_search( $ds, "dc=NTNU, dc=no", "ou=*" );						echo "Search result is ( " . $sr . " )<br />";						if( $sr ) {								echo "Number of entires returned is " . ldap_count_entries( $ds, $sr ) . "<br />";						}else {								echo "<h4>Search returned null!</h4>";						}				}else {						echo "<h4>Unable to bind to LDAP server!</h4>";				}				echo "Closing connection...<br />";				ldap_close( $ds );				echo "Closed!<br />";		}else {				echo "<h4>Unable to connect to LDAP server!</h4>";		}?>

It takes forever to do the binding and then it returns null. I have the ldap module on my server and it is enabled. To connect and bind to a server seems fairly easy - it's only a few simple functions, but still I can't do it.I've been unsing JXplorer and it have no problem reading the same ldap directory as I try to connect to using php. Using JXplorer I connect anonymously just as I do using php.Any help appreciated as I am so stuck.TIA!, MacGoose

Are you sure you are connecting on the right port? Does the LDAP server allow external connections?

I'm sure. I even tried specifying the port. But the server is using the standard ldap port so it's not needed really. As I used JXplorer and got full read access the server is open and ready.What really annoys me is that the ldap_bind() function just takes forever to return, and when it does it simply fails. Most likely due to timeout. But since I can connect using JXplorer, which is a very simple program, then there is something wrong with how I do it or set it up in php. But I can't see what I do wrong as the ldap_ functions are very simple..., MacGoose
