RE: [Phplib-users] two different log-In forms

[Brian P. <bp...@ct...>]

You don't have to unauthorize the user. I'm using PHPLib to authenticate
about 5 different sites on one server. Each has it's own authentication
table and permission scheme. The trick I used was creating a separate
local.inc for each site. Each local.inc uses different session, auth, & perm
classes. Each site also uses it's own database (although it doesn't
necessarily have to). Just take a local.inc file and strip out all the
extraneous stuff. Then include this on each page within the area that needs
to be protected. 

First Site Folder
    local.php
    index.php
    globals.php

Second Site Folder
    local.php
    index.php
    globals.php

(make sure your local.php class declarations don't interfere with the global
local.inc class declarations)

I setup all my pages to include "globals.php" on the first line. Each
globals.php then includes the corresponding local.php file (and any other
necessary include files) and defines any global variables. 

This is really how PHPLib should be setup to work (even though the docs are
somewhat misleading in this regard). It's silly to try and keep all this
stuff in one HUGE local.inc file (which gets parsed by ever single PHP hit).


The only downside to this method is that your password could be compromised
if PHP didn't work for some reason. As long as you have control of your
server, this shouldn't be a problem. If you're concerned about this, put all
your local.php files in a separate folder outside the document root (naming
them uniquely of course).

He can be unauthorized.
