When using ldapadd from the command line, I can force it to use the

No, the "-x" tells the system to use "simple" authentication. By
default, the system attempts to connect via SASL.
Interesting notion, unfortunately, it's not the "system". In fact, the
-x tells ldapadd to use simple authentication, which does not appear to
be slapd's default. That's what I want. I want slapd to use simple
auth by default. Surely something this basic must be configurable.
Sorry, I misstated. I shouldn't have said "system". I meant to say
that the "-x" tells the LDAP client (in this case, "ldapadd") to use
simple authentication. If you look at the source of the program, you'll
see that the "-x" tells the program to use ldap_simple_bind() rather
than its default of ldap_sasl_bind().
It's not slapd that's the cause, it's the LDAP client. You have to
change the PHP code to use "ldap_simple_bind()" rather than
"ldap_sasl_bind()". Or convince the authors to make it a configuration
option.
There's no such function in PHP.
There's only ldap_bind().

Yes, and PHP wants the server to accept LDAP V2. Make sure you have the
"allow bind_v2" in your slapd.conf file. Restart slapd if you have to
alter that file.
