[PHP] Alternatives to PHPLib for authentication, session management, etc
Hi.
Been using PHP since the 2.0 days, and been using PHPLib since 2000 as
the main method of user authentication (logging in/out during same
session), and simultaneously use it to give the users who are
logged in different permissions.
Since PHPLib has long ago stopped (at least in my opinion) active
development, I am wondering what other systems people use to deal with
authentication and permission levels.
I'd love to hear about complete libraries/methods that I could use as
a replacement for PHPLib with the minimum of fuss.
As an example, in the pages I do NOT want to protect, I merely need to
create a variable: $AUTHENTICATION = off;
and my global includes check for that:
if ($AUTHENTICATION != off) {
page_open(
array(sess = Example_Session,
auth = Example_Auth,
perm = Example_Perm));
}
Which causes PHPLib authentication to be ignored for that page. Every
other page authenticates via the page_open() function. PHPLib does it
all behind the sceneswhich makes it very easy.
So, basically I'm looking for a system that works better than what
I've got w/ PHPLib, that will be fairly easy to maintain -- as well
as drop-in as a replacement in the 100s of websites that I've
developed that use that authentication scheme.
Thanks in advance,
mark

Compare that to PayPal's Standard Rate of (2.9% + $0.30). Either free, or at (2% + $0.20), google checkout would appear to be cheaper than paypal. mark (just a happy checkout customer) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

http://checkout.google.com -- Google's answer to PayPal. Best part is, they are taking NO FEES from now through 12/31/2007. So you can use them to receive credit card payments for just over a year for FREE. I've used it, and once account was setup, I was paid within 2-3 days. Best part is, you can, from inside the webpage, click Send Invoice and it will ask you for an email addy, and a description of what you are billing 'em for. You don't have to create a full shopping cart system!!! mark On Mon, 20 Nov 2006, Richard Lynch wrote: On Thu, November 16, 2006 6:23 am, Jochem Maas wrote: Ross wrote: Hi, What is the best way to take a one off payent (non-paypal). cash in a stable currency ;-) Gold and Diamonds may also be worth considering. :-) Sorry. Now for some real suggestions: If you really really do mean a one-off payment, Paypal may be the simplest answer... If you mean many one-off payments, any of the shopping carts should work. You could also consider a MONEY ORDER or REGISTERED CHECK. I have used oscommece but never attempted a one payment like a subscription charge. H. Now it sounds like you want a recurring charge. I dunno about oscommerce, but you should be able to set up a recurring charge with the back-end just by flipping a button somewhere -- The bank then hands you a token sort of deal which lets you cancel the subscription payments, but not do much more with it, so you needn't store the CC# to maintain state. -- Some people have a gift link here.
