My strong recommendation is NOT to use command-line tools in web programs. Especially if you're not an experienced programmer you likely end with yet another insecure CGI-BIN... Use a decent scripting together with an LDAP module! Much less hassle. It should be possible to find sample code. If you don't have a favourite scripting language this is the right time to choose one.
