Ldap Extension for /shivammathur/php@7.4

[armandgabriel]

Hello there,

I come here after countless hours of searching a fix for adding the 'extension=ldap' for the php env on my mac m1 laptop. I found that the most stable version of php is the one provided by you @shivammathur , installed via brew and managed to start my Laravel application. The next thing is to activate the ldap extension I use for my project.
After modifying the php.ini file and restarting the service I get this error and I don't know what to do:
hp --ini

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ldap' (tried: /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap (dlopen(/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap, 0x0009): tried: '/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap' (no such file)), /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap.so (dlopen(/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap.so, 0x0009): tried: '/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap.so' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap.so' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20190902/ldap.so' (no such file))) in Unknown on line 0

Please if anyone has any solutions would help me.

Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,

You don't need to add extension=ldap in your php.ini. Please remove that.

Ldap extension in these php builds is compiled statically along with PHP. So it should be available once PHP is installed
https://github.com/shivammathur/homebrew-php/blob/master/Formula/php@7.4.rb#L164

Please run php -m and ldap should be there.
