Installing ldap extension Docker - php

Question

Hey all I am trying to instal ldap extension on a Docker php:5.6-fm images I need ldap for my project.
I have tired to install the extension through Dockerfile like so:
RUN apt-get install php5-ldap -y
get this error:
The LDAP PHP extension is not enabled.
I have also found some 'suggestion' online like so:
RUN \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install libldap2-dev -y && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \
docker-php-ext-configure ldap --with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ && \
docker-php-ext-install ldap
get this error:
An exception occurred in driver: could not find driver
am I doing something wrong...? How do I install ldap in a docker image so that I can use it in my project...?

Here is what I did... and it's working. I had other modules configured, but I don't think they interfere with anything.
FROM php:5.6-apache
RUN apt-get update -y \
&& apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libssl-dev vim
# Configure MongoDB.
RUN pecl install mongodb \
&& docker-php-ext-enable mongodb
# Configure MySQL.
RUN docker-php-ext-install mysqli
# Configure LDAP.
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install libldap2-dev -y \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
&& docker-php-ext-configure ldap --with-libdir=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ \
&& docker-php-ext-install ldap
RUN a2enmod rewrite && service apache2 restart
