Hello,

In your first code snippet mentions $ds as your "ressource link 
identifier" (cf. http://fr.php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-bind.php).
In your second attempt (when you try to set ldap_v3), you are setting 
options and binding on a connection that does not exist ($ds vs $ldapconn).

Cheers,
Olivier
