SMK PHP Authentication Class 1.0.1

SMK PHP Authentication Class package can be used to authenticate users against a MySQL database of user records.
It can verify whether there is a record for an active user given the user name and password. If the authentication succeeds, it creates a record for a new session in another database table.
The new session identifier is set to a session cookie. This cookie can be verified in subsequent accesses to determine whether the user was previously authenticated and the session did not expire.
Installing:
- Import the "script.sql" in your MySQL Database (It adds a default user "Testman", password "t")
- Alter the db.inc.php accourding to your system setup. Please adjust the SESSION timeout since it is maybe to high for you.
- Build a login page similar to my example "login.php". you should include the two files
require_once(auth.class.php);
require_once(db.inc.php);
- in all the "registered only" pages include "require_once(auth.php);" on top. Please check "index.php"
Enhancements:
- A new behaviour option for session timeout was added.
- By setting or unsetting the _TIMEOUT_ABSOLUTE constant in "db.inc.php" you can determine if the Session timeout is relative to the login time or relative to last user activity (page reload or sumbision).
