Yes, you are right. LiveUser would actually provide me the functionality that I need. I tried to figure out how it works the last two days (by the way, I am a PEAR newbie). It seems to me that there is some useful methodes that do not exist so far (maybe they are planed to be implemented one day) such as inserting a new user. For my needs a permisson container DB_Simple would be sufficient. But there is no consistent tutorial on this topic (or couldn't I find it?) So, I would be glad I someone who uses LiveUser could provide me a code snippet taht shows me how to protect my site with authentication and check if the user has rights to access a certain page. Also I would like to have an example of how to insert a new member into the database. If I am right, there should be an interface within the container to do so (Could not find it too). If nobody is using LiveUser yet, I would be glad to get some advices on other classes that you use to provide the desired functionality.
