unable to connect to active directory server

I'm trying to connect to an Active Directory server with PHP and am
having some
difficulties. Here's the code I'm using:

<?php
if (!($ldap = ldap_connect('domain.tld'))
{
exit('unable to connect');

}

ldap_bind($ldap, 'username', 'password');
?>

With that code, I get the following error:

Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server:
Invalid credentials in C:\htdocs\test.php on line 10

The thing is... I can connect just fine using Active Directory
Explorer v1.01 using the same info as above. The only thing I
can figure is that Active Directory Explorer is doing something that
PHP doesn't. Maybe it connects to a different port than PHP does by
default? Maybe it appends something to the username?

I'm not much of a scripter, so I can't really comment on the code, but one
thing I can suggest is try supplying the credentials as 'domain\username,'
or even the UPN (username@domain.com). See if either one works.
