Hi There,

Generally speaking, you need to recompile PHP with LDAP and unset the LDAP extension in your PHP ini file.

Specifically, if you would post what systems are you on, there are already made packages that you might find very useful and easy to install with a simple command line. That command line differs from Ubuntu than Solaris than Fedora or other systems. If you have Ubuntu, check the apt-get packages. If you have Solaris, check pkg-get command. Fedora, check rpms.

I Read it somewhere that in php.ini ldap extension just need to be un-commented, and it will work, i did that but it does not work,

I have Win 2003/ and installed on it AppServ.

Any suggestion would be highly appriciated,

err, me and Windows haven't been so friendly to let me get to know it and it to get to know me...sure one of the folks out there have the experience in installing PHP on Windows. If I had to deal with Windows, I would just get the WAMP Server. They have a bunch of guides on how to enable just about anything for PHP.

Best of luck,
