echo "connect result is " . $ds . "<br />";

    echo "Binding ..."; 

    $r=ldap_bind($ds);     // this is an "anonymous" bind, typically

                           // read-only access

    echo "Bind result is " . $r . "<br />";



    echo "Searching for (sn=S*) ...";

    // Search surname entry
