How to install PHP-LDAP?

[Codemeister]

So I have been trying pretty much everything and I'm sure I am forgetting something, but I don't know what.

I am trying to install PHP-LDAP but can't make it work.
Followed https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=252 for instructions.

First of all: I do not know what lines I need to add,

--with-ldap

, or something else?
Second: do I need to download any files, and if yes, from where? Do I need to install any files using apt-get?

I tried adding

--with-ldap

to the configure.php56-file and then did a

./build php n

I'm quite stuck and it's probably a real easy solution

Hello,

Under configure/ you can find:

ap2/             - for mod_php
fastcgi/         - for PHP as fascgi
fpm/             - for PHP as FPM
suphp/           - for suPHP

folders, you need to copy the needed to custom/

Then change the configure.phpXX files.

where XX replicates your PHP version number without dots:

- configure.php53
- configure.php54
- configure.php55
- configure.php56
- configure.php70
- configure.php71
- configure.php72
- configure.php73

Then run ./build php and make sure the commend ended with success. If a compilation failed, then you need to resolve reported errors and try again.

If you did everything correct

php -i | grep ^Configure

should show --with-ldap in Configure top line.

So check the mentioned things and try again.

Thanks for your reply.
I have followed the instructions but no luck.

I have tried;

--with-ldap

--with-ldap=/usr

--with-ldap=/usr/local/lib

--with-ldap=/usr/local

--with-ldap=/usr/lib

Every option results in the following error:

configure: error: Cannot find ldap.h
*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the configure file
