RE: [PEAR] Auth and header("Location:...") issues

Hi there Wade, When I use Auth I just have a dummy function login() in auth.include.php and then have a login form page with the correct input mappings to "username" and "password" example below: auth.include.php-----> include "setup.include.php"; // contains database setup function login() { //dummy function } // set options $auth_options = array( 'table' => 'customers', 'usernamecol' => 'username', 'passwordcol' => 'password', 'dsn' => $dsn ); <----end whatever.php-----> include_once('auth.include.php'); // create auth object $myauth = new Auth('DB', $auth options, "login"); $myauth->start(); if ($myauth->getAuth()) { // authenicated page content } else { // login form page } Note I usually use a template class so I just change which template is displayed and which vars are sent to it not sure if this the best way either but works quite well.
