mAuth mladoux PHP

A simple user management library. It makes no attempt at handling sessions or cookies, I'll leave that part up to you. It's just a drop in that will allow you to create users, update passwords, and make sure that user supplied information is correct. Should easily integrate into any application setting that you might be able to think of. The library is completely database agnostic, as it makes use of the dbforge library to automatically generate databases on first use. As long as CodeIgniter supports the database, this library will work with it.

Very Simple Auth Model ( CodeIgniter ) mladoux PHP

This is a very simple CodeIgniter model to handle authentication and simple security. You can use it as is, but it is very limited. It was just something quick and dirty that I flung together. The hasher functions are from phpass ( http://openwall.com/phpass/ ). I put this together more for experimental reasonings than for actual use.

Python Sessions Sunjay Varma python

I think this script should now be functional enough to post here at ActiveState. When you reply or vote down, please post some information on your problem with the code, and if you can, maybe something about the solution. This interface works, and is designed especially for Python. If you like it, don't be afraid to post that either, constructive criticism is all good, but compliments are even better! ;)

Get the latest version of this code here: http://wiki.sunjay.ca/Python:Contents/Python_Session

Latest Changes:

  • Added a new function for making the session cookie last longer. See code for set_expires. Note: This new function is just in case you need to include a session for longer than one brower session (for example, one day instead).
