Re: [phplib] login page help From: Jesse Swensen (swensenj <email protected>)

This functionality is already built into PHPLib. Use the auth_preauth
method in your subclass of Auth. Auth_preauth always gets called first and
returns either a uid, in which your user is authorized and your application
goes on it's merry way. Or it returns false, in which the regular
authorization takes place, by bringing up you login page, etc...

So, you can do anything it the auth_preauth method to authorize the user.
Maybe you have a user id/password on your index page and auth_preauth check
for the existence of those variables and uses them to do the authorization.
If they don't exist returns false.
