Are there specific PHP libraries or functions recommended for integrating LDAP authentication in PHP applications?

When integrating LDAP authentication in PHP applications, it is recommended to use the PHP LDAP functions provided by the PHP LDAP extension. This extension allows you to connect to an LDAP server, bind to it, and perform authentication checks against it. 

// LDAP server settings
$ldapServer = 'ldap.example.com';
$ldapPort = 389;
$ldapBaseDn = 'dc=example,dc=com';

// Connect to LDAP server
$ldapConn = ldap_connect($ldapServer, $ldapPort);

// Bind to LDAP server
$ldapBind = ldap_bind($ldapConn, $ldapUsername, $ldapPassword);

// Perform authentication check
if ($ldapBind) {
    echo 'LDAP authentication successful';
} else {
    echo 'LDAP authentication failed';
}

// Close LDAP connection
ldap_close($ldapConn);
