How to use AuthComponent in Cakephp 1.2

phpcurious — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:01:21 +0000

How do you use AuthComponent and AclComponent to authenticate users? On app_controller.php,
put this code:

class AppController extends Controller {

var $components = array(’Acl’,'Auth’,'Cookie’,'Session’);

function beforeFilter() {

$this->Auth->loginAction = ‘/users/login’;
$this->Auth->loginRedirect = ‘/questions/Various-Topics’;

$this->Auth->authorize = ‘actions’;

}

and, on every controller, create a beforeFilter function and put this :

function beforeFilter() {
//var_dump($this->params);
this->Auth->allow(’action1′,’action2′);
parent::beforeFilter();
}

Note, however , since AuthComponent is authenticating users based on controller actions with Acl, you will have to build your own cake acl too.

PS. Thanks to ditchx and primerg for the help!

Colorful phpinfo();

aj — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 20:50:02 +0000

Just for fun and if you have nothing to do, run this custom phpinfo(); to get a view of the old and dull phpinfo with cool colors.

ob_start();
phpinfo();
$phpinfo = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

preg_match_all(‘/#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}/’, $phpinfo, $rawmatches);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($rawmatches[0]); $i++)
$matches[] = $rawmatches[0][$i];
$matches = array_unique($matches);

$hexvalue = ‘0123456789abcdef’;

$j = 0;
foreach ($matches as $match)
{

$r = ‘#’;
$searches[$j] = $match;
for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++)
$r .= substr($hexvalue, mt_rand(0, 15), 1);
$replacements[$j++] = $r;
unset($r);
}

for ($i = 0; $i < count($searches); $i++)
$phpinfo = str_replace($searches, $replacements, $phpinfo);
echo $phpinfo;
?>

Once you’re done, refresh your browser to see more color schemes. Very old, but still very cool.
