I could be totally off-base here, but I don't think you can have
mod_auth_ldap and PHP both sending these authentication headers... It's
like trying to mix-and-match who's doing what, and it probably will fail.
If you're using mod_auth_ldap, you'll have to configure mod_auth_ldap to
do what you want...

You could convert to have PHP handling all the authentication and querying
the LDAP server...

(Assuming you are using PHP as Module, and not as CGI -- PHP as CGI can't
do authentication internally.)
