    Hi, I am looking for a good security framework.
    I'm creating some stuff in php and I'd like to add the possibility to have users with their own space to save personal stuff. Basically I need some code to manage users and security.
    Google showed me this:
    http://www.evolt.org/PHP-Login-System-with-Admin-Features
    but I'm sure there are something better on internet.

    Maybe it's possible to do something like that with Joomla?

    Thanks,
    ma0

    If you need unbreakable, secure system:

    Then my opinion is to build it yourself and use custom encryption algorithms & framework. Open source applications are really good for Fast Development but you never know when they will change the versions and moreover you need to keep constant track for timely Security Fixes for various modules. (Which i feel to be very annoying)

    Still if you want to persist with CMS then i would suggest you joomla or drupal

    these are two projects i found quite good till date

    I already tried Joomla, but I don't know how to create an user space with personal data saved on a db..as long as I know, joomla has 3 kind of user and you can't add what you want..

    Are you looking for something lower level like LiveUser or something more complete like Drupal?

    I saw Drupal and I think that maybe it's a bit too difficult to start with.
    I was thinking about something waay more easy and lowlevel to start with.
    Something that gives login and register pages, some code to put on every page to hide them to other users and so on.
    I could probably do it by myself in a day, but I'm always concerned with safety and good code.
    I will give a look to LiveUser to see if it's easy enough..otherwise I'll try to learn Joomla or Drupal.
