RE: [Phplib-users] auth url question

[Rob H. <rob...@ws...>]

  I don't agree with this approach because you are putting auth control
logic inside page and best practices are that the logic should reside in the
object itself.  My questions is whether login and register should be
separate objects.

  Two phased registration is where you register and then have to "activate"
the account via an email or some other process activates the account and
notifies you such as when a credit card has been approved.

  Approval registration is the same process as two phase, but instead of the
account being automaticly enabled by some means, the moderator must enable
the account.
