Make sure the LDAP extension is installed and enabled. This 15 answer assumes you have PHP5, however, things 14 should work similarly for PHP7 as well.

Install LDAP Extension

There 13 should be a package named like php5-ldap:

aptitude show php5-ldap
Paquet : php5-ldap

Description : LDAP module for php5

sudo apt-get install php5-ldap

sudo php5enmod ldap

If you get any error message 7 from the above command, it means something 6 went wrong.

Note: After enabling the package, you 5 usually have to restart / reload services 4 so that the newly enabled module is recognized. For 3 apache, you can do this by:
