Tag: XML

A few years ago, I wrote on the whiteboard above my desk 'Build a login script'. It sat there in the corner, along with a few other ideas, some have since been completed, some have been long forgotten. As I said in my last entry, I just learned how to work with XML, and what I learned inspired me to finally upgrade my Simple User Authentication script to work with multiple users. I've done more than just extend the script however - I have created a fully functional, fully independent user authentication class. Include it, load the XML file, and you're good to go.

I promised myself I wouldn't update Digital Gemstones until I'd filed my tax returns, and now that that's finally out of the way, I've got several things to talk about, so expect more articles in the coming days. To get started, I just finished reading No Nonsense XML Web Development With PHP, which covered the topic of XML quite excellently.
