I have tried.
Obviously it's not a trivial task for me. It doesn't work.
-------
// Since I have two user tables (or more) "usersA" and "usersB",
// should I put all the following things in a "if" loop?
var $database_table = "auth_user";
...
$this->db->query(sprintf("select uid, perms
from %s
where username = '%s'
and password = '%s'",
$this->database_table,
addslashes($username),
addslashes($password)));
// My user tables contain "username", "password", "f_name", "l_name",
// "sex", "age", "phone"...etc, but no "uid" and "perms".
// - What should I output for "uid" then? How? Or will you suggest me
// add a field "uid" to my user tables?
// - Since there's no "perms", should I remove the 3rd line below?
while($this->db->next_record()) {
$uid = $this->db->f("uid");
$this->auth["perm"] = $this->db->f("perms");
}
return $uid;
