A lightweight, flexible and secure CodeIgniter authentication library. It uses PHPass for secure password hashing and aims to be a solid base on which to build an authentication system for your CodeIgniter project. It comes packaged with an example Auth class and related views so that you can get your CI project up and running in minutes.
- CodeIgniter 2.1+
- PHP 5.2+
- MySQL
- Download and unpack the contents of the application folder to your CodeIgniter project.
- That's it! Visit
/authto signup and login. - If you want you can edit
application/config/authme.phpto change some settings, but the defaults are fine.
For an example on how to use Authme see the example Auth controller which provides a functioning example of login, sign up, logout and forget/reset password. The Authme library provides several API methods:
logged_in() - Returns true if the current user logged in, false otherwise.
login($email, $password) - Attempts to login a user with a given $email and $password. Returns true if successful and false otherwise.
logout([$redirect = false]) - Logs out the current user (by destorying the session). Accepts an optional $redirect parameter to redirect to a given URI after logout.
signup($email, $password) - Attempts to create a user with a given $email and $password. Returns true if successful and false otherwise.
reset_password($user_id, $new_password) - Resets the password of the user with the given $user_id.
The Authme helper includes the following helper functions:
logged_in() - Returns true if the current user logged in, false otherwise (shortcut to the Authme library logged_in() function).
user([$key = '']) - Returns the session data for the currently logged in user. If you specifiy a $key you can retrieve specific info, for exmaple user('id') returns the currently logged in user ID.
The CodeIgniter Authme library was created by Gilbert Pellegrom from Dev7studios. Released under the MIT license.
