Example

require_once "Auth/Auth.php";

function myOutput($username, $status)
{
    ...  /** See example 1 for the full listing */
}

$params = array(
            "dsn" => "mysql://martin:test@localhost/auth",
            "table" => "myAuth",
            "usernamecol" => "myUserColumn",
            "passwordcol" => "myPasswordColumn"
            );

$a = new Auth("DB", $params, "myOutput");

$a->start();

if ($a->getAuth()) {
    echo "You have been authenticated successfully.";
}
    ;

This example shows you, how you can specifiy alternative names for the database table and the column names. In our example, we use the table myAuth, select the username from the field myUserColumn and the password from the field myPasswordColumn. The default values for this fields are auth, username and password.

This feature is necessary if you want to use PEAR::Auth with a database layout that is different from the one, PEAR::Auth uses by default.
