Hmmm... I don't personally use default authentication much in any of my apps, and haven't yet done anything with it that involves self-registration, but, as far as I can tell, 'reg' mode with default auth works just like 'log' mode with default auth. In other words, it shouldn't matter what mode you use with default auth, logging in should work just the same with either. As with 'log' mode, you will still need to make sure there is a link or something to allow the user to start the login/registration process when s/he is on a page with default auth, but that should work exactly the same in either case. You'll want to experiment with it to see what works, of course, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. Hope that helps... _________________________________ Nathaniel Price <np...@te...> Webmaster ----- Original Message ----- From: "Virilo Tejedor Aguilera" <vi...@su...> To: "Nathaniel Price" <np...@te...>; <php...@li...> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [Phplib-users] User Self-Registration > Thanks for your help. > I've already seem the scheme ( > http://www.drostan.org/Application/webdev/uod/auth_phplib.php ).
