Connect to LDAP

Hi folks,

I've never done any PHP->LDAP code writing (nor have I ever dealt
with an LDAP server to begin with.) However I'm writing an app which
requires verifying a user's credentials against an LDAP server. The
admin of the server sent me the following snippet, however also made it
clear that he is not 100% whether it's accurate (he's not a PHP coder).
And I don't have remote access to the server (the app is going to sit on
the internal network and the LDAP server doesn't accept outside
connections.)

So, asking the wise folks on here, does the following piece look
semantically correct?

/* Check against LDAP server */
$adServer = "server.address.hidden";
$ldapconn = ldap_connect($adServer) or die("Connection to the
AD server failed.");
$ldapuser = $_POST["uname"];
$ldappass = $_POST["pword"];
$ldapbind = ldap_bind($ldapconn, $ldapuser, $ldappass);

if ($ldapbind) {
$msg = "User Authenticated Successfully!";
$_SESSION['username'] = $ldapuser;
$_SESSION['password'] = $ldappass;
return true;
} else {
$msg = "Invalid username / password";
return false;
}

Thanks.
