[ciapug] PHP / LDAP / Active Directory

[Wyatt, Rich]

Hello gents/ladies... 
 
I'm not new to PHP but am new to this group.  My question deals with
using PHP and ldap_search to query the Active Directory.  I want to
check AD to see if a user is a member of a specific group or if the user
is a member of a group that is part of a group (this is what I really
want)... 
 
I can already return group membership - but I guess what I'm looking for
is a way to do the following:
 
Joe wants access to a page... 
 
Joe is part of "Super Admins" which is a member of "Another Admin"
group.  
 
Joe doesn't have "member of" listing for "Another Admin" group.  How can
I check the AD with PHP/LDAP to tell me that Joe is OK for this page b/c
he is part of a group that has membership to the required group?
 
Does this make sense?  If so - anybody have any thoughts?
 
Thanks in advance.
