I'm about to build a new web application and I'm getting stuck on which authentication system(s) to support. Back in the day it used to be a simple matter of creating a registration page and having everything tied to your own custom authentication provider.

I'm developing a new experimental web-application framework, and I decided to give RESTful some attention. I've read up on the basics, and feel like I have a pretty good understanding of RESTful as a concept. I've got a system up and running, using URLs strictly to define 'nouns' in the system and take the 'verbs' from the HTTP request ...

Hi I have some CodeIgniter controllers which should only be accessed by users who have logged in (i.e. where $this->session->userdata('username') is not null). If a non-authenticated person attempts to access said controllers they should receive: header('location: /auth/login'); There has got to be a better way to do this than to put...
