Contents
User Monkey is a plug-and-play complete user-management system written in PHP and bundled into a single file. It enables you to easily add support for features where user sign up is required, such as posts/ comments, paywalled content, saving preferences, spam reduction, etc. All the commonly required features are included as standard and there's also an optional UI.
- Registration
- Log in / Log out
- Account Deletion
- Password Resets
- Account Verification
- Editing Account Info
- Link Social Media Accounts
- Gravatar Picture Support
There's also an optional UI, which includes the screens for all the above opperations (registration, authentication, profile page, account settings, etc)
A live demo of the running project can be viewed at: code.as93.net/user-monkey (demo no longer available)
This app was developed in 2010-12, and used across several of my apps, and other peoples projects for almost 10 years after. It served it's purpose as a simple single-file user-management system, but times have moved on, and there are now some much better alternatives out there. I strongly recommend against using this project in any production application.
If your looking for a PHP-based user management system, I'd recomend either UserFrosting or UserSpice. Both are widley used, fully tested, clearly documented and serve their purpose well.
/* First start a session, if not already started */
if(session_id() == '') { session_start(); }
/* Next include the PHP classes (see demo folder for Db class)*/
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/user-monkey/php/Db.class.php"; // Database Class
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/user-monkey/php/UserActions.class.php";// User Actions Class
/* Connect to the database */
$db = new Db();
$db->connect();
/* Create an instance of the UserActions class */
$ua = new UserActions();$register = new Register();
$success = $register->registerUser($username,$email,$password,"standard"); $logIn = new Login();
$success = $logIn->start($username, $password);$ua = new UserActions();
$ua->logOut();$settings = new UserActions();
$success = $settings->resetPassword($userId, $password);$settings = new UserSettings();
$success = $settings->changeEmail($userId, $password, $email);$settings = new UserSettings();
$success = $settings->changeUsername($userId, $password, $username);$settings = new UserSettings();
$success = $settings->deleteAccount($userId, $password);$activationObject = new VerifyAccount($userId);
$activationObject->setUrl("http://example.com");
$activationObject->sendActivationEmail();$act = new VerifyAccount($userId);
$success = $act->attemptActivate($code);If $success is false, then the $object->getMessage(); method can be called that will return a short string informing why the action could not be completed (e.g. "Unable to create account - username already taken"). For example:
$register = new Register();
$success = $register->registerUser($username,$email,$password,"standard");
if(!$success){
echo $register->getMessage();
}There is an optional UI included (see source). It's themable, but here's some screenshots of it running...
Log-in Screen
Verification Screen
Account Settings Screen
Profile Screen
