How can PHP developers ensure that the LDAP extension is properly activated and functioning on an IIS 8.5 server?

To ensure that the LDAP extension is properly activated and functioning on an IIS 8.5 server, PHP developers can check the php.ini file to make sure that the LDAP extension is enabled. They can also verify that the necessary LDAP libraries are installed on the server. Additionally, developers should test LDAP functionality in their PHP scripts to confirm that it is working correctly. 

// Check if LDAP extension is enabled
if (!extension_loaded('ldap')) {
    echo 'LDAP extension is not enabled. Please enable it in php.ini.';
}

// Test LDAP functionality
$ldapconn = ldap_connect("ldap.example.com");
if ($ldapconn) {
    echo 'LDAP connection successful.';
    ldap_close($ldapconn);
} else {
    echo 'LDAP connection failed.';
}
