# Paul

Paul is a PHP Authorization of Users Library.

It is a 'pluggable' solution for adding login protected sections

for your PHP powered websites and offers safe password storage and

persistent logins using cookies.

To start using Paul you will only have to create a login and/or

registering form and add a few lines of code to your current project or

PHP script and have secure and easy user management.

**Current status: pre-alpha / scraping / not usable**

Paul is being rewritten with an orpan project as base: springwhiz-php It

was in the starting of that project when I needed a good and secure way

of authenticating users. springwhiz has been rewritten in Django, which

already has great built-in user authentication. Because I wanted to be

able to use these libraries I've originally written for springwhiz-php

in other projects, I've started Paul.

## Features

* Login / logout / registering of authorization accounts

* Protected against password cracking (using rainbow tables), by using

  a site-specific salt and a different salt for each users password

  digestion.

* Persistent login (using cookies)

* Logout (from all persistent login sessions)

* Uses MySQL as DBMS

* Easy installation of database tables

* Uses a table prefix to use multiple instances of Paul on a single

  database simultaneously

* You get an easy to use MySQL database query handler for free to use in

  your project.
