#SteamAuthentication
SteamAuthentication is a basic set of PHP files tha 91D4 t enable users to login using their steam account to view protected content on your website. it creates a session using their steamid as the sessionID and checks for the session when a user visits the page. It also includes a file which allows you to use their profile information such as their avatar and online status.

##To Install
Upload the steamauth folder.
Open up settings.php and change domainname to your domain name.
Add your API-Key from http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
Now in your file add the following at the top:
<?php
require 'steamauth/steamauth.php';
?>And where you want the protected content to be:
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['steamid'])) {
echo steamlogin(); //login button
} else {
include ('steamauth/userInfo.php'); //To access the $steamprofile array
//Protected content
logoutbutton(); //Logout Button
}
?>You can also pass variables to steamlogin() to get them back once the user logs in by sending them as an array.
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['steamid'])) {
$vars = array('foo' => 'bar', 'some' => 'thing');
echo steamlogin($vars); //login button
} else {
include ('steamauth/userInfo.php'); //To access the $steamprofile array
//Protected content
echo $_GET['foo']; //Outputs bar
echo $_GET['some']; //Outputs thing
logoutbutton(); //Logout Button
}
?>By default, the logout button redirects to the root of the current folder, this can be changed in the settings.
#####Be aware that naming a file in your webpage root like any file in the steamauth folder will break SteamAuth.
###Choosing a login button style
You can choose the style of the login button by opening the settings and changing the value of buttonstyle to one of the following:
buttonstyle = "small";
buttonstyle = "large_no";
buttonstyle = "large";
##Using Profile Variables
I have create a userInfo.php file which creates an array of ready to use variables that includes profile information of the steam user that has logged in:
$steamprofile['steamid']- The users unique SteamID$steamprofile['communityvisibilitystate']- This represents whether the profile is visible or not.$steamprofile['profilestate']- If set, indicates the user has a community profile configured (will be set to '1')$steamprofile['personaname']- Their current set profile name$steamprofile['lastlogoff']- Last time the user was online in unix time$steamprofile['profileurl']- The URL to their steam profile$steamprofile['avatar']- The image URL to the smallest size of their avatar (32px x 32px)$steamprofile['avatarmedium']- The image URL to the medium sized version of their avatar (64px x 64px)$steamprofile['avatarfull']- The image URL to the largest size of their avatar (184px x 184px)$steamprofile['personastate']- The users current state, 1 - Online, 2 - Busy, 3 - Away, 4 - Snooze, 5 - looking to trade, 6 - looking to play$steamprofile['realname']- Get the real name$steamprofile['primaryclanid']- The users primary group$steamprofile['timecreated']- When the account was created$_SESSION['steam_uptodate']- Set to false to refresh data from Steam
Please note that some of these variables may be unavailable for some users as it depends on their privacy settings.
