Hello! I'm using fuzzysteve's SSO auth and I finally got it to work. I have a database with the names of the characters, how would I use that to display the names instead of the login button? Also, how would I make the session last indefinitely? Thanks!

My SSO code dumps details into the users session.

so if you want the get their character name, once they're logged in, you'll find it in $_SESSION['auth_charactername']

If you want to check to see if someone's logged in, check to see if $_SESSION['auth_charactername'] or $_SESSION['auth_characterid'] is set. So wrap your login button display in an if statement which checks it.

< ?php
if (isset($_SESSION['auth_characterid'])) {
echo $_SESSION['auth_charactername'];
} else {
# display login button
}
?>

As for making the session last indefinitely, you'd need to push the various auth_ session variable into something stored server side, and set an additional cookie on the client. Then have your code check to see if the session has them filled in, and if not, rehydrate it from the server side core, depending on that cookie.
