Re: [Phplib-users] User Self-Registration

[Virilo T. A. <vi...@su...>]

Thanks for your help.
I've already seem the scheme (
http://www.drostan.org/Application/webdev/uod/auth_phplib.php ).  It's so
explanatory.

My problem is that im using default authentication -all users begin being
user: nobody- and I want allow users register/login when they prefer.  In
this manner you can visit the page without login, and you arent forced to
register/login as first step.

I've understood that I'm supposed to write a register form, and a register
script (that I would like to auto login user as the new identity -like
Daniel Cunningham example-) without the necessity to write doregister()
function.  Perhaps I will have to do the same with login form.

In other words, i haven't seen in the scheme the path using reg mode and
default authentication at the same time (there is no scheme for default
authentication).

I think that this escapes to the normal way to use phplib authentication
with 'reg' mode. I would like to be mistaken!

Thanks again.
