New Comment:
I cannot get ldap_connect() to return false under ANY conditions,
including with the examples provided in this bug report. I find this
behavior impossible to document, please have another look at this.
Reclassifying -> ldap related.
Shouldn't these return false? They are not URI's:
var_dump(ldap_connect('foo'));
var_dump(ldap_connect('does.not.exist'));
I get resources with both. apache1.3.26/php4.4/openldap2.0.23

when using an ip address ldap_connect doesn't work as described.
$server = "10.1.1.100";
$port = "389";
$ds = ldap_connect($server, $port);
the result is true even if the server does not exist or the service is
not running.

I have observed something like this (in php-4.30rc3):
The whole script:
<?
$ldaphost = "nonexistendserver";
$ldapport = 389;
$ldapconn = ldap_connect( $ldaphost, $ldapport )
or die( "Could not connect to {$ldaphost}" );
echo $ldapconn; // display a valid ldap resource
?>
regards.

Hello,
in php-4.30rcX, the ldap_connect doesn't perform the connection, so
documentation should be updated.
But, the documention (on zend site) for ldap_connect is:
ldap_connect() establishes a connection to a LDAP server on a
specified
hostname and port. Both the arguments are optional. --> If no
arguments
are specified then the link identifier of the already opened link will
be returned.
In my script i don't have any previous opened link, so i think the
function would return FALSE.
Or the documention is wrong and need correction.
<?php
$ds = ldap_connect ( );
echo $ds // return a valid ldap resource
?>
Sincerely

[EMAIL PROTECTED] suggests that "Checking the return code of ldap_bind()
would be the proper thing to do anyway." However, the act of calling
ldap_bind generates an error message on the page, e.g.:
"Warning: LDAP: Unable to bind to server: Can't contact LDAP server in
/home/shop/www/ldaps-1.php on line 8"
before any check can be made on the results of ldap_bind().
We are trying to create our first secure ldap system, and the
false-positive returns from ldap_connect() are making it difficult to
track down problems.

Reverified during bughunt. From the user-comments:
"When using an URI to describe the connection, the (open)ldap library
only parses the url and checks if it's valid, _no connection_ is
established in that case."
