Returns the string error message explaining the error generated by the
last LDAP command for the given <em><code class="parameter">link_identifier</code></em>.
While LDAP errno numbers are standardized, different libraries return
different or even localized textual error messages. Never check for a
specific error message text, but always use an error number to check.

Unless you lower your warning level in your <var class="filename">php.ini</var> sufficiently or
prefix your LDAP commands with <em>@</em> (at) characters to
suppress warning output, the errors generated will also show up in your
HTML output.
