FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Informations about the package guard

KnpGuard

Add simple and beautiful authentication to Symfony's security component in Silex and anywhere else.

Build Status

This library is deprecated since Symfony 2.8 and won't work with Symfony 3.

The original purpose was to get feedback and use-cases from people so that we can merge this feature into Symfony itself (see symfony/symfony#14673).

Now it's good (see news from Symfony).

Upgrade to Symfony 3

On Symfony 2.8, use the official Guard component.

Step 1 - Remove the library from your composer.json

Be sure to be on Symfony 2.8, open composer.json file and remove the library:

Before:

Now:

Step 2 - Remove it from your AppKernel

If you're using the Symfony framework, remove the KnpUGuardBundle from AppKernel.php.

Step 3 - Modify firewall(s)

Open and modify security.yml file, replace in your firewall(s) key(s) knpu_guard by guard:

Before:

Now:

Step 4 - Update Authenticator(s)

Update uses in Authenticator(s) class(es).

Warning: checkCredentials() NOW must return true in order for authentication to be successful. In KnpUGuard, if you did NOT throw an AuthenticationException, it would pass.

Before:

Now:

Step 5 - Yes we can test it

That's it! Try it out, and then upgrade to Symfony 3 :).

Basic Usage

Check out the Tutorial for real documentation. But here's the basic idea.

Guard works by creating a single class - an authenticator - that handles everything about how you want to authenticate your users. And authenticator implements KnpU\Guard\GuardAuthenticatorInterface)

Here are some real-world examples from the tutorial:
