HUGE

The author behind HUGE  was driven by the plethora of insecure and old (mainly PHP 4.x) tutorials and scripts on the Internet these days.

Because almost all of these PHP login scripts are currently out-dated and out of touch with current security problems, a more modern and up to date solution was needed. And hence the HUGE project was born.

The HUGE project actually contains four packages implementing four different ways of not only logging in users, but also registration procedures and session management tools.

Package 1: One file - PHP & SQLite, one file database
Package 2: Minimal - PHP & MySQL setup
Package 3: Advanced - PHP & MySQL setup complete with verification, password reset, mail notifications, etc.
Package 4: MVC Framework - PHP & MySQL setup with PDO integration, URL rewriting and a basic UI

Most of the packages (except the last) have no UI, so it will be extremely easy to just copy & paste the code into your website and easily integrate it with your projects.

The last package is for powerful and complex applications, where user profiles play a major role in the website/application.

For each of the provided packages in-depth installation instructions are provided.

HUGE was previously known as The PHP-LOGIN project.
