Yep, LDAP support in PHP is very good.  The only glaring oddity is that
it mangles attribute names to all lower case.  It shows signs of being
built by a web-developer and not really an LDAP guy - if you really
understand the LDAP data model some of the PHP operations seem a bit
"Huh?" - but they all work very well.  LDAP operations are even pretty
fast which is more than can be said for the support in some other
languages.

RedHat, and I assume others, provides LDAP/PHP modules in their
distro's.
