Pragma AuthSession

Prerequisites

This package uses PHP password_hash and password_verify functions, requiring minimum PHP >= 5.3.7.

Compatibility with PHP versions from 5.3.7 to 5.5 is achieved by using ircmaxell/password-compat composer package.

Configuration

config.php

In the config.php file, there is a AUTH_USER_MODEL constant, needed for a proper functioning of this package.

This constant defines the model name representing users of your application.

Example :

define('AUTH_USER_MODEL', 'App\\Models\\User');

You can also define the user's password hash generation cost. The system default cost is 10. You can overload this by setting AUTH_CRYPTO_COST to the desired value:

define('AUTH_CRYPTO_COST', 13);

session_start()

Do not forget to start session in public/index.phpof your application if you want to use this package.
