Hi,
I am upgrading a project from PHPMaker 2022 to PHPMaker 2026.
In PHPMaker 2022, I used the following code to authenticate a user programmatically after validating the user information manually:
$Security->loginUser(
$_SESSION['UserRow']['UserName'],
$_SESSION['UserRow']['id'],
'',
$_SESSION['UserRow']['UserLevel']
);
WriteCookie("AutoLogin", "autologin");
WriteCookie("Username", Encrypt($_SESSION['UserRow']['UserName']));
WriteCookie("Password", Encrypt($_SESSION['UserRow']['Pass']));
WriteCookie('Checksum', crc32(md5(Config("RANDOM_KEY"))));
This code was used to log in the user and also enable auto-login / remember-me functionality.
I would like to know what the correct equivalent implementation is in PHPMaker 2026.
Questions:
What is the recommended method for programmatically logging in a user in PHPMaker 2026?
Is $Security->loginUser() still supported, or has the authentication flow changed?
How should auto-login / remember-me cookies be created in PHPMaker 2026?
Are WriteCookie(), Encrypt(), and the Checksum cookie still the correct approach, or should I use another built-in API/service?
Use case:
I validate the user through a custom process and then want to sign them in without redirecting them to the standard login page.
Any guidance or sample code for PHPMaker 2026 would be appreciated.
Thanks.
