PHPAuth is under going a complete rewrite to bring the code up to date, the project has been on hold for way to long time now and I decided to work on it again making sure EVERYONE can use it and not just advanced programmers. My goal is to make a Auth framework that is secure, extendible and usable for everyone. It will take some time but we have a good amount of users already using this code which are happily to help out.
- Bring code up to newest PHP version with min. of v7.1 to v7.4 (If new version comes out while rewriting the code will be pushed up to that version also)
- Making the code even more secure to use by adding things like one time keys (OTP, 2FA etc)
- Make sure that the code can be used by everyone, also beginners.
- Write much better documentation.
- Make database queries faster.
- Optimize the code.
- Bring down issue count.
- Respond faster to issue and PRs.
- And much more!
PHPAuth is a secure user authentication class for PHP websites, using a powerful password hashing system (Thanks to ZxcvbnPhp\Zxcvbn) and attack blocking to keep your website and users secure.
PHPAuth is work in progress, and not meant for people that don't know how to program, its meant for people that know what they are doing. We cannot help everyone because they don't understand this class.
IT'S NOT ONLY FOR BEGINNERS!
- Authentication by email and password combination
- Uses bcrypt to hash passwords, a secure algorithm that uses an expensive key setup phase
- Uses an individual 128 bit salt for each user, pulled from /dev/urandom, making rainbow tables useless
- Uses PHP's PDO database interface and uses prepared statements meaning an efficient system, resilient against SQL injection
- Blocks (or verifies) attackers by IP for any defined time after any amount of failed actions on the portal
- No plain text passwords are sent or stored by the system
- Integrates easily into most existing websites, and can be a great starting point for new projects
- Easy configuration of multiple system parameters
- Allows sending emails via SMTP or sendmail
- Blocks disposable email addresses from registration
- Login
- Register
- Activate account
- Resend activation email
- Reset password
- Change password
- Change email address
- Delete account
- Logout
- PHP 7.1+
- MySQL / MariaDB database or PostGreSQL database
PHPAuth can now be installed with the following command:
composer require phpauth/phpauth:dev-master
Then: require 'vendor/autoload.php';
The database table config contains multiple parameters allowing you to configure certain functions of the class.
site_name: the name of the website to display in the activation and password reset emailssite_url: the URL of the Auth root, where you installed the system, without the trailing slash, used for emails.site_email: the email address from which to send activation and password reset emailssite_key: a random string that you should modify used to validate cookies to ensure they are not tampered withsite_timezone: the timezone for correct DateTime valuessite_activation_page: the activation page name appended to thesite_urlin the activation emailsite_activation_page_append_code:1to append /key to thesite_urlin the activation email to simpler UX, a RESTful API should be implemented for this optionsite_password_reset_page: the password reset page name appended to thesite_urlin the password reset emailsite_password_reset_page_append_code:1to append /key to thesite_urlin the reset email to simpler UX, a RESTful API should be implemented for this optioncookie_name: the name of the cookie that contains session information, do not change unless necessarycookie_path: the path of the session cookie, do not change unless necessarycookie_domain: the domain of the session cookie, do not change unless necessarycookie_samesite: the same-site setting of the cookie. It defaults to Strict, do not change unless necessarycookie_secure: the HTTPS-only setting of the session cookie, by default only allows calls over an HTTPS channel, do not change unless necessarycookie_http: the HTTP only protocol setting of the session cookie, true by default, do not change unless necessarycookie_remember: the time that a user will remain logged in for when ticking "remember me" on login. Must respect PHP's strtotime format.cookie_forget: the time a user will remain logged in when not ticking "remember me" on login. Must respect PHP's strtotime format.cookie_renew: the maximum time difference between session expiration and last page load before allowing the session to be renewed. Must respect PHP's strtotime format.allow_concurrent_sessions: Allow a user to have multiple active sessions (boolean). If false (default), logging in will end any existing sessions.bcrypt_cost: the algorithmic cost of the bcrypt hashing function, can be changed based on hardware capabilitiessmtp:0to use sendmail for emails,1to use SMTPsmtp_debug:0to disable SMTP debugging,1to enable SMTP debugging, useful when you are having email/SMTP issuessmtp_host: hostname of the SMTP serversmtp_auth:0if the SMTP server doesn't require authentication,1if authentication is requiredsmtp_username: the username for the SMTP serversmtp_password: the password for the SMTP serversmtp_port: the port for the SMTP serversmtp_security:NULLfor no encryption,tlsfor TLS encryption,sslfor SSL encryptionverify_password_min_length: minimum password length, default is3verify_email_min_length: minimum EMail length, default is5verify_email_max_length: maximum EMail length, default is100verify_email_use_banlist: use banlist while checking allowed EMails (see/files/domains.json), default is1(true)attack_mitigation_time: time used for rolling attempts timeout, default is+30 minutes.

Default is30password_min_score: the minimum score given by zxcvbn that is allowed. Default is3translation_source: source of translation, possible values: 'sql' (data from <table_translations> will be used), 'php' (default, translations will be loaded from languages/.php), 'ini' (will be used languages/.ini files)table_translations: name of the table with translation for all messagestable_attempts: name of the table with all attempts (default is 'phpauth_attempts')table_requests: name of the table with all requests (default is 'phpauth_requests')table_sessions: name of the table with all sessions (default is 'phpauth_sessions')table_users: name of the table with all users (default is 'phpauth_users')table_emails_banned: name of the table with all banned email domains (default is 'phpauth_emails_banned')recaptcha_enabled: 1 for Google reCaptcha enabled, 0 - disabled (default)recaptcha_site_key: string, contains public reCaptcha key (for javascripts)recaptcha_secret_key: string, contains secret reCaptcha key
The rest of the parameters generally do not need changing.
If isBlocked() returns verify, then a CAPTCHA code should be displayed.
The method checkCaptcha($captcha) is called to verify a CAPTCHA code. By default, this method returns true but should be overridden to verify a CAPTCHA.
For example, if you are using Google's ReCaptcha NoCaptcha, use the following code:
private function checkCaptcha($captcha)
{
try {
$url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify';
$data = ['secret' => 'your_secret_here',
'response' => $captcha,
'remoteip' => $this->getIp()];
$options = [
'http' => [
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data)
]
];
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
return json_decode($result)->success;
}
catch (\Exception $e) {
return false;
}
}If a CAPTCHA is not to be used, please ensure to set attempt_before_block to the same value as attempts_before_verify.
Also, Auth::checkReCaptcha() method can be called.
Making a page accessible only to authenticated users is quick and easy, requiring only a few lines of code at the top of the page:
<?php
include("Config.php");
include("Auth.php");
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=phpauth", "username", "password");
$config = new PHPAuth\Config($dbh);
$auth = new PHPAuth\Auth($dbh, $config);
if (!$auth->isLogged()) {
header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
echo "Forbidden";
exit();
}
?>or
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use PHPAuth\Config as PHPAuthConfig;
use PHPAuth\Auth as PHPAuth;
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=phpauth", "username", "password");
$config = new PHPAuthConfig($dbh);
$auth = new PHPAuth($dbh, $config);
if (!$auth->isLogged()) {
header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
echo "Forbidden";
exit();
}
?>NB: required package installed via composer: composer require phpauth/phpauth:dev-master!!!
PHPAuth evaluates the strength of a password on user registration and manually added Users via addUser() function. The minimum score of accepted passwords is controlled via the password_min_score config-parameter.
In this example, the front-end is based on html, generated via php. The score is passed as a javascript variable like
<?php echo 'let minimum_score =' . $config->password_min_score; ?>
A full example can be found in the source: /examples/html-frontend-password-strength-gui-feedback/index.php
NB: requires a database with phpauth tables from database_defs
By default, config defined at phpauth_config data table.
It is possible to define custom config from other sources: ini-file, other SQL-table or php-array:
Config($dbh, $config_source, $config_type, $config_language)
config_source-- for 'sql': name of custom table with configuration
- for 'ini': path and name of INI file (for example: '$/config/config.ini', '$' means application root)
- for 'array': it is a array with configuration
config_type:- 'sql' (or empty value) - load config from database,
- 'ini' - config must be declared in INI file (sections can be used for better readability, but will not be parsed)
- 'array' - config will be loaded from $config_source (type of array)
config_language- custom language for site as locale value (default is 'en_GB')
Examples:
new Config($dbh); // load config from SQL table 'phpauth_config', language is 'en_GB'
new Config($dbh, 'my_config', ''); // load config from SQL table 'my_config', language is 'en_GB'
new Config($dbh, '$/config/phpauth.ini', 'ini'); // configuration will be loaded from INI file, '$' means Application basedir
new Config($dbh, $CONFIG_ARRAY, 'array'); // configuration must be defined in $CONFIG_ARRAY value
new Config($dbh, '', '', 'ru_RU'); // load configuration from default SQL table and use ru_RU locale
The language for error and success messages returned by PHPAuth can be configured by passing in one of
the available languages as the third parameter to the Auth constructor. If no language parameter is provided
then the default en_GBlanguage is used.
Example: $auth = new PHPAuth\Auth($dbh, $config, "fr_FR");
Available languages:
ar-TNbs-BAcs_CZda_DKde_DEen_GB(Default)es_MXfa_IRfr_FRgr_GRhu_HUid_IDit_ITnl_BEnl_NLno_NBpl_PLps_AFpt_BRro_ROru_RUse_SEsk_SKsl_SIsr_RSth_THtr_TRuk_UAvi_VNzh_CNzh_TW
All class methods are documented in the Wiki System error codes are listed and explained here
