Learning PHP and MySQL
Example 13-19 Using Auth_HTTP to authenticate a user
<?php
// Using Auth_HTTP to limit access require_once('db_login.php'); require_once("Auth/HTTP.php");
// We use the same connection string as the pear DB functions
$AuthOpts = array(
'dsn' => "mysql://$db_username:$db_password@$db_host/$db_database",
'table' => "users", // your table name
'usernamecol' => "username", // the table username column
'passwordcol' => "password", // the table password column
'cryptType' => "md5", // password encryption type
);
$authenticate = new Auth_HTTP("DB", $AuthOpts);
// Set the realm name
$authenticate->setRealm('Member Area');
// Authentication failed error message
$authenticate->setCancelText('<h2>Access Denied</h2>');
// Request authentication
$authenticate->start();
// compare username and password to stored values if ($authenticate->getAuth()){
echo "Welcome back to our site ".$authenticate->username.".";
}
?>
