Type Key Authentication on PHP

Finally! There is a decent implementation for authentication using Type Key which you can download a copy of the Auth_Typekey which Daiji Hriata wrote. Looks way better than the PECL module called Auth_Typekey which I've been developing in my free time which is quite nasty c code seeing that I fortunately don't develop c code as part of my day job!

Also a resource called "Everything TypeKey" was setup by Jason Torrez from Drop Cash.

The links to download the code from auth-typekey.zip which is released under the PHP license :)

I'll make a PEAR package for Auth_Typekey later the weekend to make it easier to install than manually installing it in /usr/local/share/pear or whereever you have installed PEAR to.

Typekey Authentication issues

Ah lovely! Type Key is giving validation errors when trying to post comments to blogs which is just lovely! I'm now going to have to consider opening up the comments to non typekey registered users which in turn creates problems with comment SPAM which was one of the initial reasons for enabling commenters need to have Type Key profiles. *sigh*
