how do I get rid of the ldap_connect() error

Question

• Windows Server 2016 64 bit (Fully Updated)
• WAMP/3.0.6 (Win32)

• Apache/2.4.9 (Win32)

• PHP/7.2.6 (Win32)

Error 1 : Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function ldap_connect()

I've been sitting with this error now for a while and I don't seem to get it sorted. Nothing I do seems to have any impact on this error. I also can't seem to find any source of these DLL files. My guess is that the DLL fails to load , because it's somehow not compatible with 7.2.6

What I have tried :

0.) Enabled extension in php.ini using the correct php.ini file

1.) Copied libeay32.dll,ssleay32.dll,php_ldap.dll,libsasl.dll into C:\\Windows\\system , \\apache2.4.9\\bin

Everything else works fine. I can run phpinfo() and I have a few other sites on there that open up fine. My error log file is as follows :

How can I get rid of the ldap error ?

Answer 1

I ended up downloading and installing a new version of WAMP which included PHP 7.2.4. I then enabled the extension=php_ldap.dll . I did not need to copy any other files
