Пример 1. Complete example of password check

<?php

$ds
=ldap_connect("localhost");  // assuming the LDAP server is on this host
      
if ($ds) {

    
// bind
    
if (ldap_bind($ds)) {

        
// prepare data
        
$dn = "cn=Matti Meikku, ou=My Unit, o=My Company, c=FI";
        
$value = "secretpassword";
        
$attr = "password";

        
// compare value
        
$r=ldap_compare($ds, $dn, $attr, $value);

        if (
$r === -1) {
            echo
"Error: " . ldap_error($ds);
        } elseif (
$r === true) {
            echo
"Password correct.";
        } elseif (
$r === false) {
            echo
"Wrong guess! Password incorrect.";
        }

    } else {
        echo
"Unable to bind to LDAP server.";
    }          

    
ldap_close($ds);
