Hi all,

I am thinking of a login system which can retrieve user credentials from:
i) DB
ii) LDAP
iii) XML

essentially a configurable one..
Like when u choose to get credentials from DB, u can specify the table name and columns to get the value from...
similarly for others..
i.e main theme is that nothing should be hard coded..
any suggestion from u guys?

I have only used it to connect to DB, but I've never had much problems with the PEAR packages. So yes, I think it's reliable.
