PHP OpenID ---------- This is the PHP OpenID library by JanRain, Inc. You can visit our website for more information about this package and other OpenID implementations and tools: http://www.openidenabled.com/ GETTING STARTED =============== First, run the 'examples/detect.php' script either from the command line or via the web. It will generate a report of any system configuration changes necessary to run the library. INSTALLATION ============ You will need PHP 4.3.0 or greater to use this library. We have tested the library Linux on PHP 4.3.0, 4.4.1, 5.0.5, and 5.1.1. We have tested the library on Windows XP on PHP 4.4.4. Follow these steps: 1. Install dependencies. - Enable either the GMP extension or Bcmath extension. (GMP is STRONGLY recommended because it's MUCH faster!) This is required. - Enable the CURL extension. - If you plan to use SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL to store OpenID data, you'll need PEAR DB. You can install this by running this as root: # pear install DB You'll also need to install and enable the appropriate PHP database extension. Alternatively, you can store OpenID data on the filesystem instead of using a relational database. Nothing special is required for using the filesystem method. - Install either the DOM or domxml PHP XML processing extension, but not both (they are incompatible). 2. Use the PEAR installer to install the package. To use the PEAR installer, run this command from the package directory: # pear install package.xml If your PEAR version is sufficiently new, you can run this instead: # pear install package2.xml If the PEAR installer isn't available, you can copy the Auth/ and Services/ directories into your PHP include path. TESTING YOUR SETUP ================== You can use the example code to test your setup. To run the example consumer or server, follow the instructions in the examples/README file. USING THE API ============= The best way to get started using the API is to take a look at the example consumer and server in the examples/ directory. See the examples/README file for more details. TROUBLESHOOTING =============== On some systems, PHP basedir restrictions prevent web servers from opening a source of randomness, such as /dev/urandom. If your PHP OpenID library has trouble getting a satisfactory source of randomness, check your Apache and PHP configurations to be sure that the randomness source is in the list of allowed paths for the "open_basedir" option. GETTING HELP ============ If you have any questions, recommendations, or patches, please tell us! Subscribe to our OpenID development discussion list at http://lists.openidenabled.com/mailman/listinfo/dev DOCUMENTATION ============= You can view the HTML library documentation in the doc/ directory. You can also find it on the web at http://www.openidenabled.com/resources/docs/openid/php/ This package's documentation is in PhpDoc format. To generate the documentation, install phpdoc and run the admin/makedoc.sh script. Phpdoc lives at: http://www.phpdoc.org/ CONTRIBUTING ============ If you have a bugfix or feature you'd like to contribute, don't hesitate to send it to us. Post your patch to the development list at http://lists.openidenabled.com/mailman/listinfo/dev To run the test suite included with this package, install PHPUnit 1.x and run php admin/texttest.php PHPUnit 1.x can be found at http://pear.phpunit.de/get/
