Well, as I said, the "-x" is specific to the LDAP utilities such as
ldapmodify.  The LDAP library has both ldap_simple_bind() and
ldap_sasl_bind().  I looked at the PHP site and you're right, all they
offer is ldap_bind().

In my code, I do the ldap_connect() using just a hostname and a port--
I don't use a URL.  My bind is done with a regular username and
cleartext password and it works.  Now, note that this is against a
Netscape LDAP server.  I'm replacing it with an OpenLDAP server and
no testing has been done yet.  I'll keep a note to let you know what
I discover.
