Writing your own LDAP controller in php

Question

to centralize my address books, I am going to do this through the LDAP service. Since I did not find a free service somewhere, I assume that I have to implement this myself.

So, the main idea is to implement a search (which is limited only by contacts) and a small filtering ability. A search looks up entries in the mysql backend database. Pretty advanced. All other functions, such as adding, removing, editing, etc., are not supported (in the first place - perhaps, I never know how limited I am with the http protocol).

Does anyone know what the binding and search operation in the service looks like, I just found the material, how they are processed by the client ...

If someone knows a free service (in php) that can be used on my public web server, I would prefer not to do all the implementation work;)

Thanks in advance

Best to use the Zend Framework . Zend has a built-in class for LDAP services . We use the class to work for authentication in our web admin applications.
