can you do this? 

if (Net_LDAP::isError($ldap)) {
  print($ldap->getMessage());
}

if (Net_LDAP::isError($search)) {
  print($search->getMessage());

As far as I can see everything looks okay here, except for the error
checking. Let's see what happens there.

No offense taken. The project started as an implementation of perls
Net::LDAP, so much documentation can be found there. The package is
still beta (should be alpha I guess ;-)) and neither Tarjej or me (the
maintainers) bothered to write documentation, yet. We have some fixes
pending and I will see to it that we get together a new release with at
least an example.php. Unfortunately Tarjej and I have much to do right
now, so the upcoming 0.7 is still a bit away, which will have cleaner
code.
