LightOpenID

Lightweight PHP5 library for easy OpenID authentication.

• Version....: 1.3.1 ⏬ ( see the change log for details )
• Released on: March 04, 2016
• Source code: Official GitHub Repo
• Homepage...: http://code.google.com/p/lightopenid/
• Author.....: Mewp

Quick start

Add to composer.json

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "vcs",
    "url": "https://github.com/iignatov/LightOpenID"
  }
],

"require": {	
  "php": ">=5.4.0",
  "iignatov/lightopenid": "*"
}

Sign-on with OpenID in just 2 steps:

1. Authentication with the provider:

   $openid = new LightOpenID('my-host.example.org');
   
   $openid->identity = 'ID supplied by user';
   
   header('Location: ' . $openid->authUrl());

2. Verification:

   $openid = new LightOpenID('my-host.example.org');
   
   if ($openid->mode) {
     echo $openid->validate() ? 'Logged in.' : 'Failed!';
   }

Support for AX and SREG extensions:

To use the AX and SREG extensions, specify $openid->required and/or $openid->optional before calling $openid->authUrl(). These are arrays, with values being AX schema paths (the 'path' part of the URL). For example:

$openid->required = array('namePerson/friendly', 'contact/email');
$openid->optional = array('namePerson/first');

Note that if the server supports only SREG or OpenID 1.1, these are automaticaly mapped to SREG names. To get the values use:

$openid->getAttributes();

For more information see USAGE.md.
