Sorry I missed the earlier message...

You might try 

     $AuthUser['ldap'] = 'ldap://ldap.myschool.edu/dc=myschool,dc=edu?uid?sub';

The default is 'one', and you probably need to search somewhere beneath
the "dc=myschool,dc=edu" entry.

I probably need to provide some debugging hints, yes.  But in the meantime
see if adding '?sub' solves the problem for you.
