enable LDAP with PHP 5.3.6 on Windows

[OldMortality]

Dear experts,

I am hoping to enable LDAP, with PHP version 3.5.6 under Windows XP.

According to various instructions, I should uncomment this line in php.ini

Sorry, submitted that by accident.

As I was saying, I should uncomment this line in php.ini:

extension=php_ldap.dll

Now this line is not there in php.ini to be uncommented. When I add the line, Apache web server 2.2. will not start.

I have also downloaded php_ldap.dll, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll and put them into the ext folder. I have tried putting those into C:\PHP and even into C:\WINDOWS\System32 but none of that makes any difference.

What should I do?

thank you for your attention.

php_ldap.dll is there in the .zip version of windows. If you have used the windows installer version to install php, then you will have to uninstall it, download the .zip version and do a fresh installation.
