[ciapug] PHP / LDAP / Active Directory

[Jerry Weida]

Check out http://adldap.sourceforge.net/. It's a PHP Library to access 
Active Directory using the ldap features of PHP. It provides a usable object 
and has many useful methods for getting group membership information.

I had to hack it up a little bit to get it to accept parameters via the 
contructor rather than hard code them into the class, but it was easy enough 
to accomplish.
