Re: [phplib] login page help From: giancarlo pinerolo (giancarlo <email protected>)

If you use the built in auth or you proper preauth doesn't make a
difference.

when you include user and auth, if not logged on already, a login page
will come out.
And if you don't include them, you won't be able to know wheter he's
logged in already or not.

Hiding login and password is not a good choice.

As I said, you must use default_authentication, so all the features of
user and auth are there, and you check if he's 'nobody' or 'someone'
