Let me warn you that LDAP support in PHP is poor and, AFAIK, little

Beeing a complete new comer I'm not sure to get how 'poor' you feel PHP support is ...
Could yo ube a little more specific ?
Does this mean almost unusable / broken ? Or does this mean so archaic / low level you can't use it without spending some time baking a more coder friendly API ?
- you can't perform LDAP modify operations on multiple operations with multiple operation types (e.g. combinations of add, replace, delete); this is crucial for atomic modifications - braindead handling of binary vs. string data - limited, undocumented access to response structure - no support for asynchronous operations - no support for LDAPv3 extensibility (exops, controls)
Note that most of the above has always been available in a decent manner in the corresponding C API.
