PHP 5 Sample Code
This is a sample PHP code that:
- Authenticates.
- Uses web services to create a normal login session for a specified user.
The script uses an INI file to determine the authentication information. Note the attached library files used by the script.
<?php
// set home path
$homePath = '';
// only show errors
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
// login and obtain web service handle $lmsBinding
// NOTE: authentication information saved in referenced INI file
require_once($homePath . 'includes/init_session.inc');
//********************************************************************
// constants
//********************************************************************
// CHANGE ME: these are session parameters that can be changed
define("QUIZ_RETURN_URL", "http://www.firmwater.com");
define("QUIZ_TIMEOUT_URL", "http://www.firmwater.com/?to=1");
define("QUIZ_TIMEOUT_MINUTES", 30);
//********************************************************************
