Class Summary LiveUser

Class LiveUser - Login handling class

Description: This is a manager class for a user login system using the LiveUser class. It creates a LiveUser object, takes care of the whole login process and stores the LiveUser object in a session.

You can also configure this class to try to connect to more than one server that can store user information - each server requiring a different backend class. This way you can for example create a login system for a live website that first queries the local database and if the requested user is not found, it tries to find im in your company's LDAP server. That way you don't have to create lots of user accounts for your employees so that they can access closed sections of your website - everyone can use his existing account.

NOTE: No browser output may be made before using this class, because it will try to send HTTP headers such as cookies and redirects.

Requirements:

• Should run on PHP version 4.1.0 or higher, tested only from 4.2.1 onwards
