Answer 2

Directly with openid -- I don't know any. Yo ushould use some library, which may have examples.

You should use AX to do so. Check your library documentation for information on how to use it.

You can integrate openid into your database, for example, by setting user's password to NULL, and login to his openid. Since you don't need to store any passwords for openid users, you'll be able to distinguish between regular and openid users.

After verification, you need to store the information in some kind of session, just like with any other authentication mechanism -- users logs in, you store his id in session, and then check whether $_SESSION['user_id'] is not empty.
