For Windows Platform/LDAPS/Active Directory, aside from enabling php_ldap.dll in PHP.ini, you will also have to add trusted RootCA file reference.  That's because OpenLDAP, by default, is looking for "C:\openldap\sysconf\ldap.conf", which doesn't exists.    Create the missing patch/file and inside the file:  TLS_CACERT <explicit file path to RootCA of Active Directory issuer>.    

If you do not like default C:\ path above, create an environment variable, LDAPCONF=<file path>.    Restart IIS for change to take effect.

[Example] - assume PHP is under D:\PHP
1.  create new, empty file D:\PHP\ldap.conf
2.  add inside file:   TLS_CACERT D:\PHP\rootCA.pem
3.  copy your Active Directory's Root CA cert file (rootCA.pem) to D:\PHP
4.  add Environment Variable:  LDAPCONF=D:\PHP\ldap.conf
5.  Restart IIS:   iisreset /restart
