Your PHP module cannot find the OpenLDAP library when Apache starts.
You need to specify the path to the library (libldap.so*) for the PHP module. I am not a big expert in PHP nor in OS X, but it is either done by adding something
(extension_dir ?) in the php.ini file, or by adding the location to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It could be also ldconfig, if OS X uses FreeBSD-style loader.
