Stdlib: ldap_bind_ext() missing after ldap_bind — extended bind Result (ext/ldap/ldap.stub.php)

Problem

ldap_bind() / ldap_unbind() are present, but ldap_bind_ext() (returns LDAP\Result|false and accepts $controls) is missing. ldap_sasl_bind() is also absent (separate follow-up OK). EXOP helpers (ldap_exop_*) already landed via prior work.

API	Zend / php-src	VM (2026-07-22)
ldap_bind / ldap_unbind	present	present
ldap_bind_ext	present	missing
ldap_sasl_bind	present	missing

php-src reference

• php/php-src ext/ldap/ldap.stub.php — ldap_bind_ext(LDAP\Connection $ldap, ?string $dn = null, ?string $password = null, ?array $controls = null): LDAP\Result|false
• php/php-src ext/ldap/ldap.c — extended bind + controls

PHP implementation target

• ext/ldap/ — register ldap_bind_ext beside ldap_bind; implement in VmLdapCore / link builtins (PHP)
• Return LDAP\Result on success like Zend; honor $controls when the native bridge already supports controls for search/mod
• PHP-in-PHP; reuse existing LDAP connection/result objects

Repro

./script/docker-exec.sh -- bash -lc 'php bin/vm.php test/repro/maintainer_gap_ldap_bind_ext_missing.php'

Done when

• function_exists('ldap_bind_ext') true
• Against a live LDAP (or skip-if): bind_ext returns LDAP\Result on success / false on failure matching Zend
• Compliance .phpt guard
• php-src-strict
