phplib login customisation

[necron]

I want to use the PHPLib session management and authorisation on one of my projects.

The problem I have is that the login screen is always being shown on a separate page, rather than as part of the general design. So what I would like to have is a little login-section that shows up in the corner of every page of the website. I have been trying to modify the settings for quite some time now, but I can't figure out how to get this working.

Did anybody else try to achieve something like this before? Or any idea of how I could get it going?

Thanks heaps!

I have never used PHPLib in my life. To make a login on everypage, all you do is put the form on everypage and submit it to a process page that checks the user details in the database/flatfile and creats sessions with the same names. That is basically how login scripts work.

yeah, that's how I normally do it. But the PHPLib has got pre-written authentication and session management classes that are quite secure. I am actually in the process of modifying a project that is using those classes and I would like to continue using them.

The problem is the way they are set up that if I simply take the form and bash it somewhere into my design, it won't work. Doesn't authenticate. If it is sitting on its own page and being called from within the authentication class, it works.

If anybody has had any experience with PHPLib, I would really appreciate your help.
