PHP-RBAC is an authorization library for PHP. It provides developers with NIST Level 2 Hierarchical Role Based Access Control and more, in the fastest implementation yet.
Current Stable Release: PHP-RBAC v2.0
Take a look at the "Before You Begin" section of our Documentation to learn what an RBAC system is and what PHP-RBAC has to offer you and your project.
For information regarding NIST RBAC Levels, please see This Paper.
For more great resources see the NIST RBAC Group Page.
You can now use Composer to install the PHP-RBAC code base.
For Installation Instructions please refer to the "Getting Started" section of our Documentation.
Instantiating a PHP-RBAC Object
With a 'use' statement:
use PhpRbac;
$rbac = new Rbac();
Without a 'use' statement, outside of a namespace:
$rbac = new PhpRbac\Rbac();
Without a 'use' statement, inside of another namespace (notice the leading backslash):
$rbac = new \PhpRbac\Rbac();
PHP-RBAC's Public API is now fully PSR-0, PSR-1 and PSR-2 compliant.
You can now:
If you notice any conflicts with PSR compliance please Submit an Issue.
We are in the process of refactoring the PHP-RBAC internals. We have two goals in mind while doing this:
With a PSR compliant Public API already in place we can continue to work towards our goals one piece at a time without altering the Public API that developers are working with and rely on, making the transition as seamless and invisible as possible.
We welcome all contributions that will help make PHP-RBAC even better tomorrow than it is today!
