Hello, thank you for this great article - it's exactly what I was looking for!

I'm going to be working my head around getting the database stuff in there. I'm fairly new to PDO as well so I hope I'm going to do it right. Before this I want to make sure the rest is working.
I was wondering if the following piece of code needs editing:

<?php

class Auth {
	private $_siteKey;

	public function __construct()
  	{
		$this->siteKey = 'my site key will go here';
	}

With what do I replace 'my site key will go here' ? Should I use the randomString function? I'm new to OOP so this might be a very very stupid question heh.

Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for the greate article, is there a reason why you have avoided using cookies?

Hey, sorry for the very late reply, I've had a very hectic three month period.

Cxn, if you are still having trouble, you would change that string with a (preferably) random 'site key' that will not change after you're website is live.

Sampras - I guess I find sessions easier to work with for one. The main reason is that cookies are stored on the clients machine, and can be manipulated by a user incredibly easily. Sessions on the other hand are a server stored mechanism, offering you greater control to what the user can manipulate.
