Here's how I usually do it. Requires the PHP LDAP extension:

$domain_controller = 'mydc';
$domain = 'foo.local';

if(empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || empty($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']))
{
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="' . $domain . '"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die(); //if they hit cancel
}

if(($ldap = @ldap_connect($domain_controller, 389)) !== false) {
if(@ldap_bind($ldap, $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] . '@' . $domain,
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) !== false) {
//Their credentials were valid, so do whatever you need to do
}
else {
//Their credentials weren't valid
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="' . $domain . '"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
die(); //if they hit cancel
}
}
