PHP LDAP Connection

Question

I was sent the following LDAP parameters, but am not sure how to establish a connection in PHP. I'm not sure which PHP function to use with each set of parameters. Here are the parameters I was given:

Server: ldaps://the_server.com:636

root DN: dc=the_info,dc=more_info,dc=com

User search base: ou=CompanyUsers

User search filter: sAMAccountName={0}

Group search base: OU=Security,OU=CompanyGroups

Group search filter: cn={0}

Group membership: Group membership attribute = memberOf

Display Name LDAP attribute: displayname

Email Address LDAP atribute: mail

If someone could provide a php script for me that would be great! This is my first time using LDAP and still do not understand all these parameters.

Following is the working code for linux base ldap. It might be helpful to you.

<?php
$username = 'uid=amitkawasthi,ou=CompanyUsers,dc=the_info,dc=more_info,dc=com'; 
$password= 'test'; 
$ds=ldap_connect("the_server.com, 636"); 
echo $ds;
if ($ds) { 
   echo "Binding ..."; 
   $r=ldap_bind($ds, $username, $password); 
   if ($r)
   { 
   $sr=ldap_search($ds,"ou=CompanyUsers,dc=the_info,dc=more_info,dc=com", "uid=amitkawasthi");   
   $entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr); 
   $attrs = array(); 
   $attribute = ldap_first_attribute($ds,$entry,$identifier); 
   while ($attribute) { 
     $attrs[] = $attribute; 
     $attribute=ldap_next_attribute($ds,$entry,$identifier); 
     } 
    echo count($attrs) . " attributes held for this entry:<p>"; 

    $ldapResults = ldap_get_entries($ds, $sr); 
//for ($item = 0; $item < $ldapResults['count']; $item++) { 
  // for ($attribute = 0; $attribute < $ldapResults[$item]['count'];                  $attribute++) { 
    //echo  $data = $ldapResults[$item][$attribute]; 
    echo  $data = $ldapResults[0][$attribute]; 
    echo $data.":&nbsp;&nbsp;".$ldapResults[0][$data][0]."<br>";             
   //} 
///echo '<hr />'; 

   echo "OK"; 
   }
   else
   {
   echo "Fail"; 

   }
} 

?>
