authentication scripts

[RichL]

cmon people! if anyone knows of a good pre-made authentication for users..they register themself and have their password emailed to them..etc. must be scripted in PHP. cant find anything on hotscripts..none of them are suitable! All either too big and PACKED full of features i dont need..or are too small and not secure enough! ANY suggestions- please!

To be honest, I think this is something you're going to have to attempt to code yourself - most pre-written scripts come with a specific function in mind (ie subscription to mailing lists, joining forums, etc). I've never seen one that's used "just to authenticate" people. And ones that do would be pointless, as you'd then have to figure out how you could use them to interact with other areas of your site.

Time to start coding. :-)

Check zend.com.

I remember seeing an article on phpbuilder.com about that very subject with some nice coding.. might not have everything you need but it did have a basic, stable user system.

Dude, for the past couple months or so whenever I come here you always want a script all made and ready for you to use. I've only been doing php hardcore now for almost 3 months and mysql for 2 months and for me a script like that isn't too diffucult to make! I spend a ton of time at php.net and mysql.com looking up the functions, learning what they do, and testing them to see how they work. I post in forums as a last resort when i've tried everything I can possibly think of. If you truly what to get this stuff down then it's gonna take some hard work or maybe you should just scrap trying to program and pay someone else to do it.

I was hoping to knuckle down and learn it ALL..but i have just started college and am learning stuff like Visual basic, C++..etc, so im trying to stick with VB code at one time and not gettin confused with PHP aswell..if ya see what i mean- plus i dont have the time, who does!

Jesus christ!! I think you just might be the laziest and dumbest wanna be programmer ever. Do some investigating for yourself. Stop asking for hand-outs!

Yeah! Asking for hand-outs is my job!!!

just set up a user and pass word in a DB and then it's as simple as throwing the sign up through the mod5 function and e-mail them their password using one of the many pre-fab e-mail scripts out there, and if you want to be able to e-mail them their pw in the future just get rid of the mod5. ya miss some security doing that but hey that's the short easy way

Please read my post above. Unlike you "real" programmers i do other things with my time, I dont ask for hand-outs- i ask for Pre-made scripts, ITS AN OPEN SOURCE PROJECT.

PLUS I CANT BE ARSED!

That's true - unlike YOU, we are real programmers. And where did you get the stupid idea that programmers have no life?

Oh, and by the way, pre-made scripts ARE hand-outs.

That may be true also, but i am 16- i have just started college and i am eager to learn. With all the other shit going on in the world you'd think we could stop bickering.

Nah, stupidity will live forever, unfortunately. :o)

You'd need solid PHP skill, its not something that you can download and modify. You gotta do it all manually..
