Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Authentication Classes
Sorry, Manuel, but you must have missed the first paragraph of my post. I was hoping to narrow down the 40 classes from the repository to those that are top quality.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Authentication Classes
the pear LiveUser project is a pretty cool package. it offers a couple different levels of permissioning and options for authentication. If you use pear you should be able to get the examples setup in @ 15minutes. if not, pear install is rather simple.

What you may want to do is to go in the pages of each of the classes that from the descriptions seem to do what you want. Then you can check which are the most popular checking their downloads ranking in their pages. That's not a bad idea. I was, admittedly, hoping to avoid that, but it was not out of laziness. I'm trying to develop a model of what makes a good user authentication system. Obviously, the foundation of any good system is successfully identifying users, but what differentiates one system from another? I think I'm on my own here, but the quest must go on! ;) Edward Dudlik Becoming Digital www.becomingdigital.com - Original Message - From: Manuel Lemos [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 10 June, 2003 20:51 Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Re: Authentication Classes Hello, On 06/10/2003 09:37 PM, Becoming Digital wrote: Sorry, Manuel, but you must have missed the first paragraph of my post.
