::: OVERVIEW :::
phpuserlite is a PHP module that provides a class (User) for managing the basic
functionality of a user system for websites including; login & registration
forms, email confirmation, username/password/email validation, password
processing etc. The design is focussed on a high level of security while
maintaining ease of use and configuration, and uses SQLite to handle the
underlying database.

You can find the latest release of phpuserlite at the project homepage:
https://github.com/Omnikron13/phpuserlite

Alternatively you can anonymously check out the latest revision with git from:
https://github.com/Omnikron13/phpuserlite.git

Note that code checked out from the trunk is not guaranteed stable, or indeed
guaranteed functional.

::: REQUIREMENTS :::
phpuserlite requires PHP 7.0 or higher.
phpuserlite also requires the PDO and SQLite PDO driver PHP extensions, though
PDO and PDO_SQLITE should be included with PHP. SQLite version 3.6.19 or later
is required to use the foreign key constraint in the usersChangeEmail table
schema.
PDO extension:     http://php.net/manual/book.pdo.php
SQLite PDO driver: http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_SQLITE

::: INSTALLATION :::
To install phpuserlite, simply ensure that you have all the dependencies listed
above, then copy User.php to wherever in your PHP include path you wish to keep
library code. Optionally copy doc/phpuserlite.7 into section 7 of your manual,
which would typically be /usr/share/man/man7

::: EXAMPLE :::
A quick example of setting up phpuserlite for use, assuming a config file called
example.cfg is located in the same directory as User.php, and then adding a new
user to the database

<?php
require_once 'User.php';
User::loadConfig('example.cfg');
User::setupDB();
User::add('a_user', 'password', 'user@example.com');
?>

Documentation of these methods, and the rest of the functionality of phpuserlite
can be found in the included man page (doc/phpuserlite.7)

::: SUGGESTIONS :::
I personally recommend not restricting the maximum password length any more than
the default REGEX already does - long passwords are strong passwords.
Additionally I suggest advising users to use a phrase for their password rather
than advising/forcing them to use numbers/special characters/etc.
'i like eating bees' is a stronger password than 'dY_$@62Ls8'.

You may even wish to consider adding this code or similar to your registration
form: http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php
