RE: [PEAR] How to combine Auth with HTTP_Session

Hi Stefan, thanks for your answer. The problem is that Auth itself has a bit of session management as it starts a session itself. Of course I could disable those functions in Auth and only use HTTP_Session for proper session management. But I thought there is a convenient way to combine both packages as is often the case with other PEAR packages. Also I don't want to change anything in the Pear classes itself to make updating to newer versions as easy as possible. If I do it the way you proposed how can I set a timelimit/lifetime fot the session? Ideally the Auth package should provide those functions but it doesn't. Also I can't set a DB container for the session data. What do you think?

Why can't you just check if there is an existing session (in which you also store the user-rights etc.) and if there is not you try to Authenticate the user via PEAR::Auth and create a session?
