Thanks for pointing that out - His lib is pretty impressive. However, it seems a little overkill..? Maybe mine is to simple


He states

I wish to log a user in so i do my usual login code and now i want to give other applications a chance to login using the same credentials say phpbb so i invoke $this->hooks->_call_hook(’user_login’); and thats where i get stuck, how would you pass the user credentials as the params are fixed in the config/hooks.php config file for each hook, as best as i can see anyway. Assuming this wasnt a problem i’d want to see how each of the scripts phpbb etc responded and if any failed maybe abort the login or log a message though just scanning the code the return data doesnt appear to be captured or returned when you call a hook.

Which is exactly the gap my class fills - so I am trying to figure out where his script is better than mine now...
