Is PowerShell the recommended tool for managing Active Directory through a web interface with PHP?

PowerShell is not the recommended tool for managing Active Directory through a web interface with PHP. Instead, it is recommended to use the Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) or LDAP functions in PHP to interact with Active Directory. 

// Connect to Active Directory using LDAP
$ldap = ldap_connect("ldap://yourdomain.com");

// Bind with a service account
ldap_bind($ldap, "serviceaccount@yourdomain.com", "password");

// Search for a user
$result = ldap_search($ldap, "ou=Users,dc=yourdomain,dc=com", "(samaccountname=username)");

// Get the user's information
$info = ldap_get_entries($ldap, $result);

// Close the connection
ldap_close($ldap);
