SteamAuthOOP

OOP-based Steam-Login library

Features

• One-File class
• Doesnt rely on an external library
• Easy to use
• Easy to modify with commented code and function reference
• Saves all information the Steam-API provides on a per-user basis
• Doesnt recreate/delete your session if you use it elsewhere

Installation

• Drop the steamauthoop.class.php file into your projects directory
• Insert your API-Key from http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey into the config ($settings["apikey"])
• Include it with require "steamauthoop.class.php";
• Initialize it with $steam = new SteamAuthOOP();

Basic usage

If you want to have a link, go with <a href="<?php echo $steam->loginUrl(); ?>">Link</a>

Check if the user is logged in with $steam->loggedIn(); (Will return true or false)

User-Data is accessible through $steam->varName; You can find a basic list of variables in the demo file or a more advanced one in the code.

Example

<?php
  require("steamauthoop.class.php");
  $steam = new SteamAuthOOP();
  if ($steam->loggedIn()) {
    echo "Hello ".$steam->personaname."!";
  } else {
    echo "<a href='".$steam->loginUrl()."'>Login</a>";
  }
?>

Planned

Nothing at the moment. Open an issue if you think there is something that could be better.

Data security

The library does not deliver safe/escaped data as it would limit the functionality. This will leave your site vulnerable to cross-site-scripting ("XSS") and SQL-injection attacks if you dont take actions to prevent them.

XSS

For example if a user calls himself <script src='http://example.com/hacks.js'></script> and you print that name to other users, their browser will download hacks.js.

You can prevent that by passing the string through htmlspecialchars($string).

SQL injection

For example if a user calls himself "; DROP TABLE *;-- and you directly execute that as an SQL-query, you will loose all your data.

You can prevent that by passing the strings through mysqli_escape_string($link, $string) or $mysqli->escape_string($string).

Legal stuff

If you choose to use the steam web-api you need to follow the Steam Web API Terms of Use found at http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apiterms
