Hey all

I've been looking around for a good user management/authentication class. Here are my requirements:

1) Must be separated from it's DBC or at least use PEAR::DB (or it's own abstraction at least covering MySql, PostgreSQL, and MSSQL)
2) Must allow for many different user types/groups
3) Permission configuration
4) Handle sessions

I've already checked out patUser (http://www.php-tools.de/site.php?&file=patUserOverview.xml), which is great, but it doesn't satisfy #1 above :(

I'm gonna keep looking - let me know if you've got any links or whatever.

Gonna go look at phplib now

Hmh, I would'nt exactly recommend using phplib - it's no longer actively maintained AFAIR. But I know of a PEAR package that might satisfy your needs, although (there's always a drawback)... it's alpha status, but way beyond the initial "prototype" stage.

Apart from that: Roll your own! That's usually the most time-consuming option, the fun is guaranteed... ;)
