Re: Best authentication method for user

Hi Alain. On the authentication front, you can use HTTP basic authentication for this kind of thing too - and it means you're not having to re-invent the wheel in a lot of ways. The Auth_HTTP PEAR module makes this pretty simple to implement: http://pear.php.net/package/Auth_HTTP/ You can integrate you're own authentication mechanisms (i.e. DB stored passwords, LDAP authentication, whatever you like really) quite easily. Permissions systems are harder to implement. The PEAR LiveUser package is attempting to make this a bit easier too: http://pear.php.net/package/LiveUser/ HTH. Grant
