README

Drop-in PHP login module that's database agnostic, doesn't require any libraries, and supports remember-me functionality.

Installation using Composer

Run:

composer require avokicchi/login-manager

Then use:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

To load the library.

Features

• Simple to add to existing projects
• Remember Me functionality (extend login session lifetime using cookies)
• Secure pages requiring fresh login
• Database agnostic, uses PDO
• No other libraries or dependencies needed
• Simple Key/Value storage on login object that lasts for the duration of the login session in case you need to remember something during login.

Requirements

• php 7.2+
• PDO database connection

Notes I will not extend this library with password recovery, email validation, or two-factor authentication as that goes way beyond the scope of this and would require including libraries and defeats the point of this, which is to provide a simple login system for simple (personal use) projects, or a basic login system to build on top of.

If you want that kind of functionality, I would at the moment probably recommend phpgangsta/googleauthenticator for two factor authentication, and mandrill, mailchimp or mailgun for your email sending needs.

I hope this is useful to anyone. ~ Avo

For simple usage examples, see the Examples/ folder.

In the future, I will create a small demo project that goes into more detail and shows how to use this library with dependency injection.
