  81      <h4>What is it?</h4>
  82  
  83      <p>The <code>auth</code> class contains methods related to authorisation users to access various board functions, e.g. posting, viewing, replying, logging in (and out), etc. If you need to check whether a user can carry out a task or handle user login/logouts this class is required.</p>
  84  
  85      <h4>Initialisation</h4>
  86  
  87      <p>To use any methods contained with the <code>auth</code> class it first needs to be instantiated. This is best achieved early in the execution of the script in the following manner:</p>
  88  
  89      <div class="codebox"><pre>
  90  $auth = new phpbb\auth\auth();</pre>
  91      </div>
  92  
  93      <p>Once an instance of the class has been created you are free to call the various methods it contains. Please note that should you wish to use the <code>auth_admin</code> methods you will need to instantiate this separately but in the same way.</p>
  94  
  95          </div>

  97          <div class="back2top"><a href="#wrap" class="top">Back to Top</a></div>

 104  <a name="methods"></a><h2>2. Methods</h2>
 105  
 106      <div class="paragraph">
 107          <div class="inner">
 108  
 109          <div class="content">
 110  
 111      <p>Following are the methods you are able to use.</p>
 112  
 113      <a name="acl"></a><h3>2.i. acl</h3>
 114  
 115      <p>The <code>acl</code> method is the initialisation routine for all the acl functions. If you intend calling any acl method you must first call this. The method takes as its one and only required parameter an associative array containing user information as stored in the database. This array must contain at least the following information; user_id, user_permissions and user_type. It is called in the following way:</p>
 116  
 117      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 118  $auth-&gt;acl(<code>userdata</code>);</pre>
 119      </div>
 120  
 121      <p>Where userdata is the array containing the aforementioned data.</p>
 122  
 123      <a name="acl_get"></a><h3>2.ii. acl_get</h3>
 124  
 125      <p>This method is the primary way of determining what a user can and cannot do for a given option globally or in a given forum. The method should be called in the following way:</p>
 126  
 127      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 128  $result = $auth-&gt;acl_get(<code>option</code>[, <code>forum</code>]);</pre>
 129      </div>
 130  
 131      <p>Where option is a string representing the required option, e.g. 'f_list', 'm_edit', 'a_adduser', etc. By adding a ! in front of the option, e.g. '!f_list' the result of this method will be negated. The optional forum term is the integer forum_id.</p>
 132  
 133      <p>The method returns a positive integer when the user is allowed to carry out the option and a zero if denied or the other way around if the option is prefixed with an exclamation mark.</p>
 134  
 135      <p>If you specify a forum and there is also a global setting for the specified option then this method will return a positive integer if one of them evaluates to a positive integer. An example would be the m_approve option which can be set per forum but also globally. If a user has the global option he will automatically have m_approve in every forum.</p>
 136  
 137      <p>There are some special options or <em>flags</em> which are used as prefixes for other options, e.g. 'f_' or 'm_'. These flags will automatically be set to a positive integer if the user has one or more permissions with the given prefix. A local setting will result in the flag being set only locally (so it will require a forum id to retrieve). If a user has one or more global permissions with the prefix acl_get will return a positive integer regardless of the forum id.</p>
 138  
 139      <a name="acl_gets"></a><h3>2.iii. acl_gets</h3>
 140  
 141      <p>This method is funtionally similar to <code>acl_get</code> in that it returns information on whether a user can or cannot carry out a given task. The difference here is the ability to test several different options in one go. This may be useful for testing whether a user is a moderator or an admin in one call. Rather than having to call and check <code>acl_get</code> twice.</p>
 142  
 143      <p>The method should be called thus:</p>
 144  
 145      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 146  $result = $auth-&gt;acl_gets(<code>option1</code>[, <code>option2</code>, ..., <code>optionN</code>, <code>forum</code>]);</pre>
 147      </div>
 148  
 149      <p>As with the <code>acl_get</code> method the options are strings representing the required permissions to check. The forum again is an integer representing a given forum_id.</p>
 150  
 151      <p>The method will return a positive integer if <code>acl_get</code> for one of the options evaluates to a positive integer (combines permissions with OR).</p>
 152  
 153      <a name="acl_getf"></a><h3>2.iv. acl_getf</h3>
 154  
 155      <p>This method is used to find out in which forums a user is allowed to carry out an operation or to find out in which forums he is not allowed to carry out an operation. The method should be called in the following way:</p>
 156  
 157      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 158  $result = $auth-&gt;acl_getf(<code>option</code>[, <code>clean</code>]);</pre>
 159      </div>
 160  
 161      <p>Just like in the <code>acl_get</code> method the option is a string specifying the permission which has to be checked (negation using ! is allowed). The second parameter is a boolean. If it is set to false this method returns all forums with either zero or a positive integer. If it is set to true only those forums with a positive integer as the result will be returned.</p>
 162  
 163      <p>The method returns an associative array of the form:</p>
 164  
 165      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 166  array(<em>forum_id1</em> =&gt; array(<em>option</em> =&gt; <em>integer</em>), <em>forum_id2</em> =&gt; ...)</pre>
 167      </div>
 168  
 169      <p>Where option is the option passed to the method and integer is either zero or a positive integer and the same <code>acl_get(option, forum_id)</code> would return.</p>
 170  
 171      <a name="acl_getf_global"></a><h3>2.v. acl_getf_global</h3>
 172  
 173      <p>This method is used to find out whether a user has a permission in at least one forum or globally. This method is similar to checking whether <code>acl_getf(option, true)</code> returned one or more forums but it's faster. It should be called in the following way:</p>
 174  
 175      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 176  $result = $auth-&gt;acl_getf_global(<code>option</code>)</pre>
 177      </div>
 178  
 179      <p>As with the previous methods option is a string specifying the permission which has to be checked.</p>
 180  
 181      <p>This method returns either zero or a positive integer.</p>
 182  
 183      <a name="acl_cache"></a><h3>2.vi. acl_cache</h3>
 184  
 185      <p>This should be considered a private method and not be called externally. It handles the generation of the user_permissions data from the basic user and group authorisation data. When necessary this method is called automatically by <code>acl</code>.</p>
 186  
 187      <a name="acl_clear_prefetch"></a><h3>2.vii. acl_clear_prefetch</h3>
 188  
 189      <p>This method clears the user_permissions column in the users table for the given user.  If the user ID passed is zero, the permissions cache is cleared for all users.  This method should be called whenever permissions are set.</p>
 190  
 191      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 192  // clear stored permissions for user 2
 193  $user_id = 2;
 194  $auth->acl_clear_prefetch($user_id);
 195  </pre></div>
 196  
 197      <p>This method returns null.</p>
 198  
 199      <a name="acl_get_list"></a><h3>2.viii. acl_get_list</h3>
 200  
 201      <p>This method returns an an array describing which users have permissions in given fora.  The resultant array contains an entry for permission that every user has in every forum when no arguments are passed.</p>
 202  
 203      <div class="codebox"><pre>
 204  $user_id = array(2, 53);
 205  $permissions = array('f_list', 'f_read');
 206  $forum_id = array(1, 2, 3);
 207  $result = $auth-&gt;acl_get_list($user_id, $permissions, $forum_id);
 208  </pre></div>
 209  
 210      <p>The parameters may be of the following legal types:</p>
 211          <ul>
 212              <li><strong>$user_id</strong>: <code>false</code>, int, array(int, int, int, ...)</li>
 213              <li><strong>$permissions</strong>: <code>false</code>, string, array(string, string, ...)</li>
 214              <li><strong>$forum_id</strong>: <code>false</code>, int, array(int, int, int, ...)</li>
 215          </ul>
 216  
 217      <a name="misc"></a><h3>2.ix. Miscellaneous</h3>
 218  
 219      <p>There are other methods defined in the auth class which serve mostly as private methods, but are available for use if needed.  Each of them is used to pull data directly from the database tables.  They are:</p>
 220          <ul>
 221              <li><pre>function acl_group_raw_data($group_id = false, $opts = false, $forum_id = false)</pre></li>
 222              <li><pre>function acl_user_raw_data($user_id = false, $opts = false, $forum_id = false)</pre></li>
 223              <li><pre>function acl_raw_data_single_user($user_id)</pre></li>
 224              <li><pre>function acl_raw_data($user_id = false, $opts = false, $forum_id = false)</pre></li>
 225              <li><pre>function acl_role_data($user_type, $role_type, $ug_id = false, $forum_id = false)</pre></li>
 226          </ul>
 227  
 228      <p>Of these, <code>acl_raw_data</code> is the most general, but the others will be faster if you need a smaller amount of data.</p>
