PHP-Authentication
PHP-Authentication works like the Tomcat authentication. You give the source to authenticate against (DB, file, XML-RPC, etc.) and the directories that shall be protected, and the class handles the rest. No including of any call to a class method on every page is necessary. You can also use it as if it were a standard Auth-class, using a call to "isLoggedIn" on every page that shall be protected.

Recent commentsConfiguration for each File/Directory desired?
I was thinking if I implement a mechanism, which lets you put a simple xml-file in a directory, or in each file, which lets you determined how the current page/directory shall be protected. Is there any interest for such a thing?
The following example piece of XML, could then go either in the file or directory for which those options shall be set.
Example:
<Auth>
<options>
<!-- protect the current file/directory?? -->
<protect value="no"/>
<!-- define the login page for this file/directory --->
<loginPage value="/path/to/specialLogin.php"/>
</options>
</Auth>
