Zend Developer Zone: Getting Started with OpenID and PHP
by Chris Cornutt June 05, 2008 @ 10:27:20
Vikram Vaswani has a new tutorial posted to the Zend Developer Zone today about integrating PHP with an OpenID system via a few helpful packages.
OpenID, a free, open-source framework for "single sign-on" across different Web sites and applications. The even better news? There already exist a bunch of PHP widgets that allow developers to easily integrate OpenID into a PHP application, and this article is going to show you how to use them. So what are you waiting for? Flip the page, and let's get going!
For those not familiar with the authentication method, he defines OpenID and shows how it can help with the "too many passwords, too many accounts" problem many users face. He uses the PHP OpenID Library and the Authentication::OpenID_Consumer PEAR package (as well as several other PEAR packages to help with the connections and message formatting). He builds two simple forms to use the service - one to authenticate a user and another to create a new account.

Zend Developer Zone: SourceForge Uses Zend Framework to Implement OpenID
by Chris Cornutt May 14, 2008 @ 07:51:31
The Zend Developer Zone has come across an interesting face about the SourceForge website - it uses the Zend Framework to add OpenID functionality to its pages.
According to the press release from SF about their OpenID support:
OpenID is getting tremendous traction and we're happy to be jumping into it. it's bringing us back in touch with fresh web (2.0) technology. [...] We've spent the past couple weeks on it - integrating the Zend Framework OpenID component into our site code. we like the framework as a whole and I personally hope to use more of it in the future.
There might be a few kinks in the process, so if you're seeing issues with your OpenID working on their site, check out the FAQ they've posted to help.

Pádraic Brady's Blog: PHP OpenID 2.0 library for PEAR Updates
by Chris Cornutt July 24, 2007 @ 12:53:00
Pádraic Brady has posted two new updates about his OpenID library for PEAR - one concerning the previous version being available from a subversion repository and the other about some updates to the source.
From the first post:
So after a few days throwing around code in an IDE, a small amount of swearing, and an overdose of caffeine, I have committed initial OpenID PHP5 code in it's shiny new PEARified form to subversion. What this means is that after a few more days of completion to work out major kinks, the PEAR-Dev mailing list will be notified of a new OpenID Consumer proposal ;-). A Server proposal will follow at a later date, i.e. when the dull ache in my forearms subsides. The repostory: http://svn.astrumfutura.org/pear/trunk/OpenID/
And, from the second post:
Just a quick update on the PHP OpenID 2.0 library being proposed to PEAR. The library is a PHP5 implementation of the OpenID 2.0 Authentication Specification. It's currently only including a Consumer (so you can build OpenID authentication into websites) but a Server is already in the works for later.
Be sure to check out both of these posts for lots more information than's presented here. Pádraic's worked hard on the package - check out the alpha code at http://svn.astrumfutura.org/pear/trunk/ to see just how much.
