In every system, it’s bound to have user levels and permissions. So if you are going to code you PHP system using Codeigniter framework, you can use Flexi Auth. It’s a CI library, also complete with its models, configuration file and language file. It can easily be integrated into your system in the making.
Flexi Auth has a well structured code. You can easily use it in many ways because of it’s detailed documentation.
The database is normalized and is easy to understand and expand. You can add your own fields to the table and easily access the fields without changing the codes in the library. You can an also add another table to connect with the users, a good use case would be if a user can have an infinite number of addresses. You can create a table for addresses and use it along with Flexi Auth without changing the library codes.
It is also already equipped with user management functionality. Complete with CReate, Update and Delete (CRUD) and methods for managing groups and privileges.
Also, Flexi Auth already has a complete registration system. You can choose to confirm the registrations in an email, or not. It is also ready to be configured to use reCaptcha – Google’s free captcha service.
I’m using this library in my projects and it saves time and thinking effort.
