I am just looking into OAuth for the first time as a way of allowing
users to login to http://twitterleague.com. All I store in my database
is a user ID. So the basic authentication was used to verify
credentials and get the user ID.

I was looking at the oauth access token and it appears to start with
the users ID then a "-" then the random characters. For instance:
1234567-FAfdsafnjdksahf8wei9qyh89fxwqihfd839q...

All I want to know is can I just grab the beginning of the string or
will the tokens format change? As it would save me using the
verifyCredentials method.

Thanks

Ollie
